💔 DPA Dispatch: Devastated to say the least (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Wednesday, we stood witness as the State of Texas moved forward with the execution of Ker’sean Ramey. Ker’sean’s co-defendant was executed last week.

And places like Idaho may soon start back up their machinery of death once again, after
