Obituary

Jerry led the country's second busiest execution team for 17 years, presiding over 62 executions. Witnessing that process triggered him to become a prominent opponent of the death penalty. During the last phase of his life Jerry organized protests against the death penalty, testified before congress and met with incarcerated people, corrections officers as well as the families of victims. He was 67 when he succumbed to the coronavirus.
