ABA Creates Capital Clemency Resource Initiative Clearinghouse

The American Bar Association has created a new web resource devoted to the clemency process in death penalty cases. The resource, called the Capital Clemency Resource Initiative Clearinghouse, is the result of a collaboration between the ABA Death Penalty Representation Project and the Death Penalty Due Process Project. Misty Thomas, chief counsel for the Death Penalty Due Process Project, said that in every state the project has studied, there were insignificant resources for and attention paid to clemency. The resource is designed to address this issue. Learn more here.
