    Pennsylvania v Arrington

    Court: Pennsylvania Supreme Court

    Decision Date: February 28, 2014

    Appellant Lance Arrington appealed the death sentence he received after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder and for violating the Uniform Firearms Act. While appellant raised numerous claims of error to challenge the sentence, the Supreme Court found none and affirmed his conviction and sentence.

    ADMINISTRATIVE DATE

    Execution date set for two death row inmates

    Execution dates are set for two death row inmates despite a moratorium on the death penalty by Governor Tom Wolf.

    Department of Corrections Secretary John Wetzel, signed Notices of Execution setting April 17, 2015 for the executions of Albert Perez, of Berks County and Lance Arrington, of Philadelphia.

    Perez was convicted of first degree murder on May 19, 2009. The same jury handed the death penalty on May 27, 2009.

    Arrington was found guilty of first degree murder on February 17, 2000 and sentenced to death five days later.

    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
