Currently not on Pa's official death row list. Also I couldn't find anyone with the name Lance Arrington on the state's corrections website.

He's not listed on the latest NAACP report so he's either died or been released. I'm assuming it's more likely he died.

"There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
