North Carolina needs a moratorium on executions

The Common Sense Foundation has a new public service announcement on the need for a moratorium on executions in North Carolina. At the heart of the increasingly popular moratorium effort is the fact that at least four innocent people have been sentenced to death in this state.
A moratorium is simply a pause on executions, during which time an investigative commission can examine the state’s death penalty to determine what problems it has and whether or not the problems can be fixed.
The elected local governments of thirty-five (35) cities and more than 150 prominent Republicans and Democrats in North Carolina support the call for a moratorium.
