DEATH IS NOT JUSTICE.

WHAT IS FATAL JUSTICE?

We're here to bring awareness to the cruelty of capital punishment.

Every year, the state and federal governments of the United States of America take the lives of individuals convicted of capital offenses. The government having the authority to take someone’s life is horrific in and of itself, and becomes even more so when we consider the myriad of other factors that can come into play when dealing with justice in such a fatal form. While life sentences afford room for proven innocence, appeals, and often redemption, the death penalty provides no such extra luxury to ensure that our justice system abides by its creed of “innocent until proven guilty”. While there is no way of knowing just how many innocent people have been executed in the course of our nation’s history, the number of death row exonerees grows annually, and many people still awaiting execution were convicted prior to the availability of DNA testing. However, regardless of innocence, each and every execution takes a life, not of a murderer or criminal, but of a human being. As long as this barbaric practice is allowed to continue, the American public is complicit in legalized murder, which can never bring closure to a victim’s family. This website exists to memorialize the lives lost, innocent or not, for the sake of American “justice”, and to spread awareness about the cruel reality of capital punishment and those affected by it.
