Jewish Group Urges Rejection of Death Penalty for Elias Rodriguez
A leading Jewish anti-death penalty group, L’chaim, is calling on federal prosecutors to reject capital punishment for Elias Rodriguez, the man charged with the fatal shooting of Israeli Embassy staffers, arguing that executing him would only elevate his profile and incite further violence, and instead urging the U.S. to honor the memories of the victims by rejecting the death penalty and embracing life-affirming values.
