Arizona Death Penalty

Execution scheduled for June 30

The Coalition of Arizonans to Abolish the Death Penalty will hold vigils and protest the execution of Richard Bible. Please join us in our opposition to the death penalty. Although his crime was terrible, the state is not justified in killing him.

Please contact webmaster@azabolitionist.org with any questions.

June 27: commutation and reprieve hearing

The clemency hearing will take place on Monday, June 27, at the Board of Executive Clemency, which is in the Department of Corrections headquarters at 1601 W. Jefferson, Phoenix, AZ. The hearing is open to the public, and we hope you will attend. You may also write to the Board to state your opposition to the execution.
