- You are cordially invited to attend the 16th annual Celebrate Life—Alternatives to the Death Penalty. When: 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 Where: Capitol Rotunda, 200 West Washington Street, Indianapolis Celebrate Life is an annual gathering to celebrate the alternative sentences available for capital trials. It is held on or near the March 1 anniversary of the date in 1847 in which the state of Michigan became the first English-speaking territory in the world to abolish capital punishment. This year we will recognize Kathleen Cleary, Deputy State Public Defender for the Capital Division, as our Abolitionist of the Year. Ms. Cleary is being honored for her efforts to indefinitely suspend the execution of a mentally incompetent inmate on Indiana’s death row. In addition, Paige Zyromski, a former teacher and freelance writer, will explain how she came to forgive the murderer of a close family member. Please plan to arrive early if you can, and take the time to meet with your Representative and Senator to let them know of your support of alternatives to the death penalty.
