Conservatives Campaign Against Death Penalty
RALEIGH — A group of conservatives opposed to the death penalty have started raising awareness of their cause to state leaders. They hosted a press conference Sept. 22 at the Legislative Building, hoping the conversation eventually can reach the level it achieved in Nebraska, which repealed capital punishment earlier this year. The group, called North Carolina Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, is led by Rep. Jon Hardister, R-Guilford.
