Crucial Conversation Luncheon “Race and the Death Penalty in North Carolina” Hosted by NC Policy Watch and NC Coalition for a Moratorium Monday, February 26th One of the most fundamental guarantees of our criminal justice system is that people charged with a crime receive a fair trial, regardless of their race, gender, or national origin. But there is now evidence that the current capital punishment system in North Carolina is not living up to that constitutional promise and that race plays a significant role in determining who is sentenced to death. Racial bias is playing an improper role in jury deliberations and statistical analyses show that the race of the victim is a critical factor in who receives the death penalty. Joining us for this discussion is a distinguished panel of experts: Charles Ogletree, Jr. , Harvard Law School Jesse Climenko Professor of Law, Founding and Executive Director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, and author of From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State: Race and the Death Penalty in America. Jack Boger, Dean and Wade Edwards Distinguished Professor of Law at UNC-Chapel Hill, former capital punishment litigator and author of the report Race and the Death Penalty in North Carolina, which is responsible for first bringing attention to racial bias in the state’s judicial system. Deborah Ross, is serving her third term as a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, where she represents Wake County and serves as a Majority Whip. She is also a veteran civil rights lawyer, ethics lecturer and proponent of capital punishment reforms.” This is a crucial conversation that you must join. Space is limited, advance registration is required Registration fee: $10 includes a box lunch Prof. Ogletree will be signing copies of his book From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State: Race and the Death Penalty in America, which you can purchase a copy of the book at the event for $22, courtesy of Quail Ridge Books.
