North Carolina may become the first state to enact a moratorium on executions through the legislative process. A moratorium measure has already passed their Senate and is awaiting action in the House. A new Web site launched by the North Carolina Coalition for a Moratorium, www.ncmoratorium.org, contains a vast amount of information related to this important issue. Among the topics examined are the quality of counsel, innocence, costs, access to DNA testing, deterrence, race, arbitrariness, and public opinion. The site also contains case summaries of North Carolina defendants whose stories speak to the need for a pause in executions. The moratorium bill would allow the state’s capital punishment policies to be reviewed to ensure fairness and accuracy. The measure has received support from both proponents and opponents of capital punishment. See North Carolina Coalition for a Moratorium. See also North Carolina.
