Craig Colwart, Chief Public Defender of 16th Judicial District

In Louisiana, people who will not impose the death penalty for moral or religious reasons are not allowed to sit on capital juries. In the single instance where our government calls on us to make a moral determination on behalf of our community, the voices of the faithful are being excluded and silenced. Here, we speak out and say "We want to serve!"
