Justice Sandra Day O’Connor Speech to the Minnesota Women Lawyers group


If statistics are any indication, the system may well

be allowing some innocent defendants to be executed…


Serious questions are being raised about whether the death penalty

is being fairly administered in this country.


Perhaps it’s time to look at minimum standards for appointed counsel

in death cases and adequate compensation for appointed counsel

when they are used.
