Death penalty to resume in Mississippi this week

Death penalty opponents will address the planned resumption of executions in Mississippi this week.

A press conference is scheduled for tomorrow on the south steps of the Mississippi capitol.

A prayerful protest vigil will be tomorrow evening at Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.

David Cox, who is in prison for murdering his wife, is scheduled to be executed at Parchman Farm this Wednesday.

This will be the first execution in the state since 2012.
