Pulling Back the Curtain: The Eyes of the Public

Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (GFADP) and Georgia Catholics Against the Death Penalty (GACADP) conclude our Pulling Back the Curtain webinar series on Thursday, September 26, with Pulling Back the Curtain: The Eyes of the Public.

Media witnesses serve a vital role at executions – they are the eyes of the public. In this installment of Pulling Back the Curtain, we spoke with Rhonda Cook from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Rhonda served as the AJC’s media witness for many years, witnessing and reporting on more than 25 executions. She shared with us what it is like to witness an execution, as well as why it is so important for the media to be present.
