Last month, the Pennsylvania Joint State Government Commission released its long-awaited report on capital punishment in the commonwealth, a report seven years in the making. In this episode, Marshall Dayan of the Federal Public Defender of the Western District of Pennsylvania joins to talk about the findings of the task force and its advisory committee. The report is available at this link:

Also in this episode, we went to Washington! In June, the ACLU hosted its first nationwide membership conference in a decade. We talked with people from Pennsylvania who were there, asking them why they took three days out of their lives to hang out with several thousand ACLU members.
