François Picard is pleased to welcome Sandrine Ageorges-Skinner, author, advocate against the death penalty and member of the association "Ensemble contre la peine de mort": Together Against the Death Penalty. She asserts that capital punishment is “really a political agenda, especially in electoral times.” Ageorges-Skinner examines how electoral pressures, judicial shortcomings and medical ethics shape capital punishment in the United States. Discussing Christa Pike's case, botched executions and the risk of wrongful convictions, she challenges the legitimacy of a system in which political ambition outweighs justice.
Contrasting American practices with France's abolitionist commitment, she raises fundamental questions about human rights and absolute power.
