Governor Inslee's Death Penalty Moratorium

 Since 1993, when my son Tom was murdered, I have been a staunch advocate for Crime Victim's Rights. I have prepared this video to (hopefully) help those that thankfully have never lost a child or other loved one to murder, understand the grief, pain and trauma one experiences when they are notified that their son, daughter or loved one has been murdered.

Additionally, this article is directed to Washington State Governor Jay Inslee in opposition to his declaring or placing a moratorium on the implementation  of the death penalty. Governor Inslee has done this on the pretext (whether real or political expediency) that the only way Washington State could assure that an innocent person was not erroneously executed.

While that may be a possibility, the chances of this happening are very rare. And while I or any reasonable person would want someone to be wrongly executed, as a survivor of a murdered son and crime victim, when researching this, I feel that Governor Inslee has put his personal beliefs and convictions above all the courts and jurors, thereby nullifying their decisions that a particular criminal whom they have convicted and sentenced beyond a reasonable should receive the ultimate penalty- - death.    

I have not published any articles in this blog since 2016. However, I intend to start publishing articles again, or write my thoughts and opinions down. Hence the name of this blog, "Write Thoughts."
