Thomas More Center for Catholic Thought and Culture Conversations Series presents "Is This Justice? Stories from Death Row"
Catholic Mobilizing Network’s speaking tour of Missouri is coming to Rockhurst University!
Join us for NextGen for Justice, a panel discussion on abolishing the death penalty as an expression of Catholic teaching on the sanctity of all life and the dignity of every person. The discussion will feature Laurence Komp, the Kansas City-based defense attorney for Marcellus Williams, who was executed in Missouri Sept. 24; and Joe Armine, a Kansas City man who spent 16 years on Death Row before being exonerated. Craig Watz, J.D., assistant teaching professor of criminal justice, will moderate the discussion.
Come for this powerful evening of personal stories and exploration of the hope for restorative justice.
