奥斯汀近百人在州议会大厦前集会反对死刑：第27届年度游行，冤案家属现场讲述
据FOX 7奥斯汀报道，10月10日（周六），近百人聚集在奥斯汀德克萨斯州议会大厦台阶前，参加一年一度的反对死刑集会游行。这项活动已连续举办27年。
集会者中，有曾被判死刑后沉冤得雪的人士亲自讲述经历，也有仍在死囚牢房服刑者家属到场。据集会组织者介绍，全美至少203名被错误定罪并判处死刑的人已经获得平反。
梅丽莎·卢西奥（Melissa Lucio）的家人也在现场。卢西奥因女儿死亡案被定罪，其家人坚称她是无辜的。从休斯顿赶来的卢西奥表亲在集会上说，希望这次抗议能让政府看到她是无辜的，把人都放出来，“一上来就想杀人，这不对”。
还有发言者提到前陆军精神科医生尼达尔·哈桑（Nidal Hasan）军事处决被直播一事，质疑这种做法如同“戏剧化的暴力展示”，没有必要。
到场家属和倡导者一致表示，死刑不是答案，罪犯应该在牢房中度过余生，而不是被处决。
Nearly 100 Rally Against Death Penalty at Texas Capitol in Austin: 27th Annual March Features Families of the Wrongfully Convicted
Nearly 100 people gathered on the steps of the Texas Capitol in Austin on Saturday for the annual rally against the death penalty, an event organizers have held for 27 years, FOX 7 Austin reported.
Among the crowd were people who had once sat on death row before being exonerated, as well as family members of people still on death row. Organizers said at least 203 people wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death in the United States have been exonerated.
The family of Melissa Lucio, convicted in the death of her daughter, attended the rally and maintains she is innocent. Lucio's cousin, who traveled from Houston, told the crowd she hopes the protest shows the government that Lucio is innocent and that those wrongfully held should be released.
One speaker also addressed the military execution of former Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, questioning the decision to livestream it and calling it a theatrical display of violence.
Families and advocates at the rally said the death penalty is not the answer, and that offenders should instead spend life in a cell.
