The Office of the Attorney General defends death penalty appeals and streamlines the death penalty appeals process by utilizing every resource available to stop delays and restore common sense to the criminal justice system. Upon request, this team of career prosecutors assists county prosecutors with every phase of death penalty prosecutions - from the indictment and trial through every stage of appeal. The Office also compiles a "brief bank" of sample responses to the most common death penalty appeal petitions.
