Preface

Lush's campaign is a standard anti-death penalty one, meaning they parrot anti-death penalty claims, refuse to fact check or vet those, nor use critical thinking, as I showed them (May 16, 2017) when they began their campaign, as again:

This rebuts all from the referenced, with all sources, with fact checking and vetting provided (just as May 16, 2017).

The death penalty/executions protect and save innocents, in six ways, better than does a life sentence,

Which, further, confirms this anti-death penalty norm:

In Closing

Will Lush care that they are wrong, on everything? If the anti-death penalty norm, they will just double down.

All other issues:

 Research, w/sources, w/fact checking/vetting & critical thinking, as required of everyone in a public policy debate and which rebut all anti-death penalty claims.
       The media/academic norm is to use anti-death penalty material, refuse to fact check or vet it or use critical thinking and avoid all pro-death penalty research and experts or to pretend that is the case.  How will you know that is true? Read on:
