DPIC has added a new easy-to-use state database of death penalty information to its Web site. In addition, Richard Dieter’s (DPIC’s Executive Director) testimony before the New York State Assembly Standing Committees on Codes, Judiciary, and Correction regarding the costs of the death penalty is also available. The Committees are holding hearings on whether New York should re-instate the death penalty.
