There was a tragic death of an uncle.

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.

We thought it would be better for us to play teams we don't normally see.

So many have threatened to fast unto death, but no one has died so far. I don't think the clergy should get involved in politics like this.

Nobody on our death row is innocent.

None of those now on death row have ever contested their guilt. It's harder to get a death penalty in Connecticut. So it's not worthwhile for prosecutors to seek it. Connecticut juries are required to make a reasoned moral judgment on whether the prisoner should die.
