Arkansas Bishop Anthony Taylor compares executing murderers to killing Jesus Christ

A coalition of several groups opposed to the death penalty protested against 7 executions scheduled in the State of Arkansas. The rally was held at the Arkansas State Capitol on Friday April 14th. The 2 main guest speakers were West Memphis 3 suspect Damien Nichols and Movie Star Johnny Depp. Due to multiple lawsuits regarding the Death Penalty, executions by the state have been restricted to lethal injection and only with certain government approved drugs.

Opponents of the death penalty claim that 1 and 10 criminals executed are innocent. Many activists also advocate for therapy of those on death row. Although the families of murder victims are mentioned, they are downplayed and not even named during these types of rallies.
The state enforcing the law via execution is often called murder by death penalty opponents. There is also an attempt by some leftist Christians to compare executing a convicted criminal with the execution of Jesus Christ. It is likely that Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson will not grant clemency to any of the death row inmates and that they will be executed on schedule.
