2020 AL Senatorial race: on Crime


John Rogers: For automatic death penalty for cop killers without appeal

Speaking about individuals convicted of capital murder in the killing of law enforcement officers, Rogers remarked that in those cases, "The death penalty ought to be automatic."

Rogers lamented how long those individuals on death row can stave off their executions through appeal after appeal after appeal. He argued that individuals should not be allowed to appeal after being duly tried and convicted of the capital murder of a law enforcement officer.
