The Impacts and Effects of Capital Punishment: The Death Penalty in America

This program aims to foster policy discussions related to the implementation and the use of capital punishment throughout the United States, particularly within the state of Georgia. A moderated panel featuring both students (from the Capital Defenders Clinic) and professionals (from the Capital Habeas Unit and GA Innocence Project, among others) will discuss capital punishment and its impacts on both the American Criminal Justice System and incarcerated Americans. This event will be co-sponsored with GSU's Criminal Law Society.
