    The Next To Die

    AL.com joins 'Next to Die' project to track executions

    AL.com has joined with other news organizations around the nation in "The Next to Die," a project to track the upcoming executions of death row inmates.

    Led by The Marshall Project, a non-profit, non-partisan journalism group that covers the criminal justice system, "The Next to Die" is currently set up to track execution dates in 10 states.

    The information is being shared through The Marshall Project's website and an embedded 'countdown to execution' widget that can be shared by AL.com - and other local media outlets - or placed into social media content.

    Information includes the scheduled execution date of the condemned, links to background on their case, news as the execution date nears, and finally, the date of death.

    "The Next to Die aims to bring attention, and thus accountability, to these upcoming executions," The Marshall Project states on its website. "As impartial news organizations, The Marshall Project and its journalistic partners do not take a stance on the morality of capital punishment, but we do see a need for better reporting on a punishment that so divides Americans."

    "Whether you believe that execution is a fitting way for society to deplore the most heinous crimes, or that it is too expensive, racially biased and subject to lethal error, you should be prepared to look it in the face," The Marshall Project states.

    Information on the website is gathered from DPIC! Impartial, not possible.

    The very fact that the "Project" is named for the late abolitionist US Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall tells us all we need to know.

    The very existence of this boggles my mind. Tracking execution dates is something anyone can do through competent use of Google (for starters, there's barely a dozen states you actually have to track) heck, they could just track this site.

    Side Note: There already was a Marshall Project and it rebuilt Western Europe. This is just grand standing.
    I am vehemently against Murder. That's why I support the Death Penalty.
