Drop ALL charges in "Yogurt Shop" case --- Saturday, Sept 13 3:00PM

[Stefanie Collins]

The Campaign to End the Death Penalty invites all those devoted to social justice to join them for this important protest.  APD and the Travis County DA must be held accountable for violating the rights of these two innocent men - Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen - and their families, wasting the people's money, and horrifyingly, allowing the parties really responsible for this terrible crime to enjoy, even at this moment, full impunity. Organizations -- please let your members know and bring delegations to let APD, the DA, and the public know that these men have a broad spectrum of support! 

Thanks,

Stefanie Collins

The System is Broken:
Why You Should Oppose the Death Penalty!

The capital punishment system is plagued by wrongful convictions.  Innocence, racism, lack of adequate defense, mental illness, and numerous crime lab scandals, have all helped to create a system rife with error. In addition, not much is being done to reduce the causes of crime.  The death penalty is not the solution to societal problems.  The CEDP is a group dedicated to ending capital punishment and reforming the justice system.  To find out about joining our group or for a simple discussion on this issue:
