  • Texas Death Penalty Developments in 2016: the Year in Review
    EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2016, 12:01 AM CDT Texas Death Penalty Developments in 2016: The Year in Review Executive Summary The Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (TCADP) – a statewide advocacy organization based in Austin, Texas – publishes this annual report to inform citizens and elected officials about issues associated with the death penalty during the past year. The report cites these recent death penalty developments in Texas: • In 2016, new death sentences remained at their lowest level since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the state’s revised capital punishment statute in 1976. Jurors condemned three individuals to death, but rejected the death penalty in a fourth case. • Application of the death penalty remains racially biased. Over the last five years, 80% of death sentences have been imposed on people of color. • Use of the death penalty also remains geographically isolated. Just seven counties account for approximately two-thirds of all new death sentences in Texas since 2012. • For the second consecutive year, there were no new death sentences in Harris or Dallas Counties. • The State of Texas put seven people to death in 2016, the lowest number of executions in two decades. Texas accounted for more than one-third of all U.S. executions. • Of the seven men put to death by the State of Texas in 2016, two were Hispanic and five were white. It was the first time since 1984, and only the second year since the resumption of executions in 1982, that no African-Americans were executed in Texas. • Nearly half of the individuals executed by the State of Texas over the last two years had a significant impairment.
