    On March 13, 2013 Sen Thom Goolsby (R-New Hanover) filed legislation to restart the death penalty in NC and ensure justice will be served for more than 100 families whose loved ones were brutally taken from them.

    One part of the legislation will repeal the Racial Justice Act, which many believe was a back-door tactic to get rid of the death penalty.

    Who are the real victims of the Racial Justice Act? This is the first in a three part series on the Turner family whose son, Roy Turner Jr., was killed in the line of duty. In the first video Roy’s Parents talk about what happened the day they found out that their son was murdered.
