Wesley Ruiz is scheduled to be executed by the state of Texas on 1 February 2023. Wesley Ruiz, John Balentine, and Robert Fratta (who was executed on 10 January) had their lawsuit barred this month, alleging that the state of Texas were using expired chemicals to execute them.

The #Oklahoma legislative session begins in less than two weeks. We know the #deathpenalty will be an issue that will be looked at with fresh eyes by many legislators who previously had not questioned their support for executions.

BREAKING NEWS: All of the remaining OK executions scheduled in 2023 have been reset and pushed back to allow more time between executions.The move by the OK AG was intended to reduce stress on the DOC, but this should not be seen as an invitation to stop our advocacy.

THANK YOU & AG for enabling AZ to join other states like OH and TN in pausing executions and taking a deeper look at execution problems. AZ’s death penalty system and execution process are deeply flawed. #deathpenalty #nodeathpenaltyAZ

This would be a very dangerous precedent to set. Currently, all but a couple states require a unanimous imposition of a death sentence. 8:4 is dangerously low.
Quote Tweet
Crosley Green was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to death even though 4 jurors voted for life. It was the same 8-4 vote that Gov. DeSantis wants to bring back as the nation's lowest threshold for imposing the death penalty. @ChristieZizo @DPInfoCtr #deathpenalty twitter.com/RDunhamDP/stat…

“Ruiz is deeply remorseful for killing Officer Nix & has worked to better himself during his years on death row. He has maintained a close relationship with his sons, Wes Ruiz, Jr. and Eric Ruiz, & often provides them with guidance about life and relationships.”

With a system as broken as the criminal legal system we have in the United States, it is utterly irresponsible to still inflict this most severe punishment among the most vulnerable in our nation.

In fact, we see the death penalty affect those who come from the most severe circumstances, those who are the poorest, those with the worst attorneys, and those who have killed white people most often.
