Gregg v. Georgia (1976) is the Supreme Court case that re-started the death penalty in the United States after the application of capital statutes were declared unconstitutional four years prior in another case originating in our state, Furman v. Georgia. This year marks fifty years since that decision. In that time, Georgia has executed 77 people and exonerated seven.
To mark this anniversary, Georgia Catholic Conference and Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty will co-host a webinar featuring a distinguished panel of scholars to discuss the impact of Gregg v. Georgia on our country.
Join us on Tuesday, July 7, at 12 p.m. on Zoom. Visit http://bit.ly/3SlRwHr to register.
