This year, Nebraskans will be asked to eliminate or keep the death penalty. State lawmakers abolished capital punishment in 2015, but a successful petition initiative has brought the issue directly to voters on the November general election ballot. State Senators Colby Coash and Beau McCoy – leading figures in the pro and anti-repeal movements – will discuss the death penalty from both perspectives and take questions from audience members. Currently, there are 10 death row inmates in Nebraska. This discussion will be moderated by Fred Knapp of NET News.
