"For me, the most compelling reason to reject the death penalty is to set ourselves on the path to the kind of society we really want for our future. I want something better for our future. We cannot confront darkness with darkness and expect light."
Connecticut State Senator Gayle Slossberg (D-Miford)
"Today is a dramatic and potentially historic day because the Senate has ... an opportunity to correct the arbitrariness, the discrimination, the random haphazard approach to the application of our death penalty in this state.''
Connecticut State Senator Eric Coleman (D-Bloomfield)
“I cannot stand the thought of being responsible for somebody being falsely accused and facing the death penalty. For me, this is a moral issue and realizing that mistakes are obviously made.”
Connecticut State Senator Edith Prague (D-Columbia)
