But Wait...Governor Wants to Undo

The Governor wants to veto the work of the Connecticut House and Senate. Death Penalty abolitionists implore Governor to meet with the families of victims and talk to prosecutors and defense attorneys off the record.

Canzano, who works with trauma victims, said the death penalty offers false
hope to people at a time when they are experiencing crushing grief.

"There is no trauma like murder and no grief like homicide grief," said
Canzano. "But we err as a society if we believe ... the death penalty helps the
survivors."

She said capital punishment appears to promise "that something will be made
right, but truth be told, this is something that can never be rectified no
matter what we do. The notion of balancing the scales is ludicrous it simply
doesn't happen."
