This is where we are on the issue of race in Nevada: Jim Wheeler just asked whether a bill to address systemic racism is "just for people of color" or whether it would also protect persons "walking while white." Walking. While. White. #nvleg
Repealing the death penalty is one of many ways the #nvleg can improve a broken criminal-legal system plagued by systemic racism. NACJ sent a letter to Melanie Scheible demanding a hearing on AB395 in the Senate. Let's see some action to match Nicole Cannizzaro's wise words.
The failure to even schedule a hearing on #AB395 is absolutely unacceptable. It is time for Nevada to face the irreparably broken death penalty system Melanie Scheible Nicole Cannizzaro
There is a path forward, @GovSisolak, you're just too cowardly to take it. Nicole Cannizzaro, Melanie Scheible, and Sisolak should have a robust conversation with persons on death row who are begging for their lives.
.ACLU of Nevada with strong words about Nevada dropping the quest to end the death penalty. Says Dem leaders in gov's office / Senate's "commitment to meaningful reform is nothing but lip service." Says situation "an embarrassment." Says blame for future executions lies with lawmakers:
Didn't Nicole Cannizzaro just tell us how great Nevada's been on criminal justice reform?
