Kermit Alexander Biography
- Title:
- Former NFL player and President of the NFL Players Association
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should the Death Penalty Be Allowed?"
- Reasoning:
-
“I urge a no vote on Prop. 62 [to repeal California’s death penalty] and yes on Prop. 66 [to speed up California’s death penalty] to ensure the worst of the worst killers receive the strongest sentence. A yes on Prop. 66 brings closure to families while saving California taxpayers millions of dollars every year.”
