life KENNESAW JUNIOR COLLEGE VOL. 11 NO. 1 MARIETTA, GEORGIA JULY 12, 1971 Georgians Against Death Penalty The GEORGIA COMMIT­ TEE AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY, a coalition of organizations and citizens opposed to capital punishment, views with great distress the recent ruling of the United States Supreme Court uphold-' ing Georgia's death penalty laws. The Court's decision allow­ ing capital punishment con­ veys the upmistakeable mes­ sage that fife ceases to be sacred, and that violence is legitimate and justified when a life is taken in deliberate, premeditated revenge by civil authority. The Committee believes that the death penalty is symbolic of every­ thing that is brutal and futile in our present system of criminal justice. It serves more the cause of injustice than it does the cause of justice. Historically, the death pen­ alty has been unfair and discriminatory, a system of justice meted out to the poor, the uneducated, the racial minorities, but above all, capital punishment is wrong - morally and legally -- and should not be reintroduced in any form for any crime. The rach and the screw, drawing and quartering, flogging, were all used as punishments and subsequently rejected as ma­ turing and sensitive ideals of human decency recognized the barbarity of these practices. So, too, must a civilized society reject the death penalty. The Georgia Committee Against the Death Penalty calls upon each and eviyy; Stand Up For Your Rights citizen of Georgia to examine his or her conscience and work with us until punishment by death is thoroughly uprooted and eliminated from our laws.
