SPEAKERS: Bill Babbitt, from Murder Victims’ Families for Human Rights who witnessed his brother’s Manny Babbit’s execution; Billy Moore, who spent over 16 years on death row in Georgia; and Greg Wilhoit who spent 5 years on death row in Oklahoma before being exonerated.
"Witness to an Execution," features the voices of those who have lost a loved one to execution or faced the prospect of execution themselves. As the national debate about lethal injection continues, this tour will expose the barbarity of the death penalty. With these firsthand accounts and experiences of executions, we aim to show that capital punishment is "cruel and unusual" punishment. As witnesses to execution, the voices featured in this tour will share their stories of loss, struggle, and hope for an end to the death penalty
