Submit a public comment and oppose this rule:“I strongly oppose the proposed rule to dangerously fast-track death penalty cases. This rule would weaken critical safeguards in a system where the stakes are irreversible. Appeals are not delays. They are often the only opportunity to uncover wrongful convictions, ineffective counsel, or constitutional violations. This rule does nothing to improve public safety. Speeding up executions at the expense of due process does not make the system more efficient. It makes it more dangerous. From my experience working with incarcerated individuals and their families, I have seen how complex these cases are and how necessary thorough review truly is. I am especially concerned about the impact on those who already face barriers in the system, including people who cannot afford strong legal representation and those who are more vulnerable to injustice because of their race or mental or physical disabilities. Human life should never be subject to a rushed process. I urge you to reject this rule.”
Comments can be long and detailed if necessary so don’t hesitate to explain why you care and how it will affect you by telling more about your morals, concerns, etc. In my case, saying too much can sometimes play against me so I have to find the right balance of concerned citizen Vs incarceration directly impacted person…
