Last week, SCDC announced Fred Singleton, the longest-serving person on SC’s death row (41 years), died of natural causes. He was 81 years old.
We also remember Elizabeth Lominick, whose life was taken by Mr. Singleton. For 41 years, her family was promised closure the state could not provide.

On August 5, the State of Tennessee plans to execute Byron Black, a wheelchair-bound, elderly man with intellectual disability. If this execution moves forward, it will not only represent a constitutional violation but a violation of common decency.
