THE REV. GERALD SHOAN, Deacon, Grace Cathedral

Society must protect itself and hold offenders accountable, but is the death penalty the answer? Supporters say, "An eye for an eye;" opponents respond, "Thou shalt not kill." Why are some relatives of violent crime victims speaking out against capital punishment? Sally Senior and Aundrÿ Herron, both of whom confronted the killers of family members and did not pursue the death penalty, tell their own stories; The Rev. Andrew Skotnicki provides a religious perspective to the debate.
