Ray Krone Visits Tennessee
Ray Krone, the 100th death row exoneree, spoke to a crowd of 200 at Belmont University and to 50 people at First Presbyterian Church in Cookeville yesterday, ironically the same day that the state executed Cecil Johnson. Krone's story is a powerful reminder of the flaws of the death penalty system and why the death penalty is not worth the risk.
We will give you more information about Ray's visit in a later blog, but I wanted everyone to see the great story that Fox News 17 did on the Belmont event. Watch it here.
