Rep. V. Lowry Snow (R)

HB 147 (Repeal and Replace the Death Penalty)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill repeals the death penalty and replaces it with an alternative sentencing option to help prosecutors better achieve justice.

Libertas supports this bill. It is an appropriate balance to ensure the criminal justice system does not kill the wrong people, spares victims of decades of ongoing abuse, and secures justice to hold heinous criminals responsible for their actions.
