Connecticut, Thank You for Ending the Death Penalty!
Great news: Connecticut has become the 17th US state to abolish capital punishment.

It also does nothing constructive for the victims of violent crime, their families or their communities. By abolishing the death penalty, Connecticut has become a leading example of respect for human rights in the US. Globally, Connecticut joins 141 countries (over two-thirds of the world’s nations) in rejecting the death penalty.
