“Me personally, I live death row every day,” Ed Ch “Me personally, I live death row every day,” Ed Chapman shared during our Racist Roots screening at Duke University.

Ed spoke about being wrongfully convicted and losing 14 years of his life to death row after his innocence was deliberately buried by law enforcement in Catawba County.

We're grateful to Duke Partnership for Service (@@duke.dps), Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute (@dukehumanrightscenter), and Duke students Rohan, Lameese, and Grace for helping to make this evening possible. Thanks to all who showed up to learn alongside us.

Racist Roots is a project of The Center for Death Penalty Litigation (@centerfordeathpenaltylit).

A bad defense can cost a life. Ed Chapman knows th A bad defense can cost a life. Ed Chapman knows that firsthand.

Wrongfully convicted, he survived nearly 14 years on death row before his exoneration in 2008. His original attorneys often showed up smelling of alcohol. They ignored key evidence and lines of inquiry. When Ed tried to have them dismissed from his case, they attempted to keep him from finding new representation.

When a UNC Law student asked how public defenders can best represent their clients, Ed shared this wisdom.

Happy Easter from NCCADP to you and your loved one Happy Easter from NCCADP to you and your loved ones! 

In the Christian faith, Easter honors the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his execution by the state. Today, we reflect on liberation from bondage and triumph over death, which is core to the work of ending the death penalty.
