阿肯色州普拉斯基县小石城市保守派组织10月29日成立阿肯色分会：前州参议员哈钦森领衔、重新审视死刑制度
阿肯色州普拉斯基县小石城市，保守派组织“关注保守派”10月29日宣布成立阿肯色分会，由前阿肯色州共和党州参议员杰里米·哈钦森担任负责人。该分会将动员全州保守派人士，重新审视死刑在阿肯色州司法制度中的位置，围绕死刑的可靠性、公平性、成本与有效性展开公共教育、社区联络和与决策者的沟通。
阿肯色州自2017年4月在11天内处决4人以来再未执行过死刑，但死刑制度仍然保留，迄今已有1人从该州死囚名单上获得平反。
哈钦森表示，阿肯色人应当诚实地审视死刑是否为政府资源的有效使用，以及在有其他手段保障公共安全的情况下，其不可逆转的风险是否站得住脚。分会主张以有限政府、财政责任与人的尊严等保守派原则来衡量死刑制度，并推动更多保守派声音加入这场讨论。
Conservative Group Launches Arkansas Chapter in Little Rock, Pulaski County on October 29: Former State Senator Hutchinson to Lead Death Penalty Review Effort
In Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas, the conservative organization Conservatives Concerned announced on October 29 the launch of its Arkansas chapter, led by former Republican state senator Jeremy Hutchinson. The chapter will mobilize conservatives across the state to re-examine the place of the death penalty in Arkansas's justice system, conducting public education, community outreach and engagement with policymakers around the reliability, fairness, cost and effectiveness of capital punishment.
Arkansas has not carried out an execution since April 2017, when four people were executed over 11 days, but the death penalty remains in place, and one person has so far been exonerated from the state's death row.
Hutchinson said Arkansans should honestly examine whether the death penalty is an effective use of government resources and whether its irreversible risks are justified when other means of protecting public safety exist. The chapter advocates judging the death penalty by conservative principles such as limited government, fiscal responsibility and human dignity, and aims to bring more conservative voices into the discussion.
