Watch Cathy Harrington, mother of a murdered child, talking about the death penalty

on 13 October 2009


Cathy Harrington's worst nightmare happened 5 years ago, when she received a call informing her that her daughter had been brutally murdered.

 Last week, she came to London to share her experience and thoughts about the death penalty. A board member of Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation, Cathy talks about her spiritual journey as well as her thoughts about the judicial process in the US and the death penalty: an enlightening testimony which deeply affected all of us.

In her own words:

"What the death penalty does -- and we (the murder victims' families) are so clear about this, I am -- is it creates more victims".
