Michael Ross

An execution date has been set for Michael Ross in Connecticut after Ross stated he wanted to stop his remaining appeals. Unless he changes his mind, Ross will be executed in January. He would be the first person executed in Connecticut since 1960. The article contains some good quotes from the NCADP through David Elliot. Specifically, David is quoted regarding the apparent opinion on the death penalty in Connecticut. The fact that there has not been an execution there in over 40 years is a sign of the antipathy toward the death penalty. Connecticut is certainly not Texas or Florida when it comes to the death penalty, but that doesn't change the fact that they will execute someone in the next few months.
