This Serra program cites examples of recent Catholic social teaching on the death penalty. These quotations are meant as a starting point for Serra Clubs to explore the issue as a club meeting program.

Extractions: contents page A keynote address by John Artis, who was falsely convicted with Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and served 15 years in prison before being released, will highlight the annual Heman Sweatt Symposium on Civil Rights April 17-20. The theme for this year’s event is "Capital Punishment in Texas: Is Justice Served." In addition to Artis’ talk, several other activities are planned for the symposium, including two panel discussions that will examine the media and legal perspectives associated with the death penalty and the showing of the movie "The Hurricane," starring Denzel Washington, that chronicles the events that landed Artis and Carter in prison. All events are free and open to the public. In 1966, Artis was a 19-year-old high school graduate in Paterson, N.J., with a promising future. He was an athlete, Boy Scout, altar boy and a college scholarship recipient. He also was an African American man driving a white car with Carter the night three people were killed by two other African American men driving the same color car. Artis and Carter were convicted of the murders after a known criminal testified against them in exchange for $10,000 and a light sentence. Artis was sentenced to three concurrent life terms at Rahway Prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years.
