• Dada mi experiencia, creo que hay tres razones de peso por las que debería sustituirse la pena de muerte. (1) El sistema de justicia penal comete errores y la posibilidad de ejecutar a personas inocentes es intrínsecamente errónea y moralmente reprobable; (2) Mi experiencia personal y los datos sobre delincuencia demuestran que la pena de muerte no reduce la delincuencia; y (3) La pena de muerte desperdicia valiosos recursos que podrían utilizarse mejor para luchar contra la delincuencia y resolver miles de homicidios sin resolver que languidecen en los archivadores de departamentos de policía con escasez de personal en todo el estado.

• Lo que realmente impulsa la batalla contra la aplicación de la ley y el castigo no es un compromiso con el tratamiento, sino la opinión generalizada de que, en primer lugar, estamos encarcelando a demasiada gente por la mera posesión de drogas ilegales; en segundo lugar, las sentencias por drogas y otros delitos son demasiado largas y duras, y en tercer lugar, el sistema de justicia penal está castigando injustamente a los jóvenes negros. Estos son algunos de los grandes mitos urbanos de nuestro tiempo.

• Lo primero que debería preocuparnos del movimiento BLM deberían ser las cuestiones que está planteando el movimiento Black Lives Matter. Los activistas de Oakland, Baltimore o Nueva Jersey no presentan ninguna plataforma fundamental. Los principales problemas que se ven, lo que tienen en común los activistas de todo el país, es que tratan de hacer frente a los problemas del sistema de justicia penal, algo que es fundamental para mi trabajo. Así que mi esperanza es que la gente siga centrada en la urgencia de crear justicia aquí en casa.
