“The Utah Supreme Court ruling is powerful in that it exhibits how the State is willing to move forward when there are serious questions about whether we are following our own laws and Constitution. Meanwhile, its been 39 years of waiting and yet again the rug is pulled out from under the victims families who have been told that an execution will help them feel better. If the sentence had been life without parole, nobody would remember Ralph Menzies. Today his is the most famous name in the state.”
– Abe Bonowitz, Co-Founder of Death Penalty Action
