"The execution of Marcus Johnson deepens the moral stain on the State of Georgia. Georgia has a shameful, disturbing record of executing the mentally ill and disabled, in addition to those for whom there are serious questions as to their guilt, at a time when the nation is questioning a system so riddled with arbitrary and innacurate, not to mention morally bankrupt, judgments. Georgia should be erring on the side of caution, not rushing its citizens pell mell to the execution chamber."
