Death Penalty Protest
February 16th, 2012 by flanewsProtestors sang out at the state capitol today, hoping state leaders would hear their voices. More than two dozen capital punishment opponents held a vigil for Robert Waterhouse and his victim Deborah Krammerer. Watethouse was executed last night, 32 years after the crime. For about 20 minutes protestors prayed and sang. Marda Messick, a Lutheran Pastor, says the state murdered Waterhouse.
“Any taking of a human life, whatever the justification is wrong, its murder in my view and the view or my church,” said Messick.
Legislation to abolish the death penalty in Florida has been filed, but isn’t getting any traction.
