Protesters speak out against Brown execution
WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) - People showed up to oppose and support capital punishment at the Washington State Penitentiary a short time before the planned execution of convicted killer Cal Coburn Brown.
About two dozen death penalty opponents showed up in a parking lot of the prison in Walla Walla on Thursday evening. Three people who supported the death penalty also came. (View photos >>>)
Tim Kaufman-Osborn, a 57-year-old Walla Walla man, has protested every execution since 1993. He says capital punishment is like a rigged lottery, based on race, economics and where a person is prosecuted.
But construction worker Mark Clark of Kennewick said people must be held accountable for their actions.
