Moratorium on executions in Oregon!

November 28, 2011

 

Citing regret for executions that took place in his state over 10 years ago, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber announced last week that no further executions would take place in his state while he is the Governor.

 

“I simply cannot participate once again in something that I believe to be morally wrong,” the governor said in uncharacteristically emotional remarks during a news conference in his office.

 

Kitzhaber’s term is set to expire in January 2015 and he has not stated whether he will run for re-election.

For more information about this incredible story, please take a look at the coverage in the Kansas City Star.
