Late Thursday, the state of Florida executed Oscar Ray Bolin, 53. Bolin had been found guilty of murdering three women in the Tampa Bay area nearly 30 years ago. Today, about a dozen anti death penalty activists met at the state Capitol for a prayer vigil for Bolin and his victims. Protestor Walter Moore says the vigil was about more than Bolin.

“It’s a service of remembrance for the victims of the crime that has taken place, as well as for the perpetrator.  And for their families, and for that matter, for all those who participate.”

While the activists say their numbers were small, they say opposition to the death penalty continues to grow, especially when life in prison without parole is a possibility.
