Black Agenda Radio · Ending Death by Incarceration for Felony Murder in Pennsylvania

Quinn Cozzens is a staff attorney with Abolitionist Law Center who joins us to discuss the issue of sentencing for felony murder in Pennsylvania. That state requires a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for felony murder convictions. This sentence of death by incarceration is being challenged by one of the 1,100 people currently incarcerated under that sentence, who has asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to rule on the constitutionality of this practice. Quinn Cozzens joins us from South Carolina.
