American Civil Liberties Union and American Civil Liberties Union of MississippiOpposeAdvocacy
Summary: The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Foundation and the ACLU of Mississippi oppose the certification of Mississippi's capital counsel mechanism. They argue that the state's system fails to meet federal competency, compensation, and timeliness standards, and that granting certification would risk expedited executions for indigent defendants without adequate legal representation.
