A&E’s Kurtis, Krone to speak in York
One-time death row inmate is focus of former newsman’s
book

Bill Kurtis of the A&E network’s “American Justice”
and “Cold Case Files” will visit south central
Pennsylvania on Wednesday, September 14 at a joint
appearance with former Arizona death row inmate Ray
Krone.  “The Death Penalty on Trial: An Evening with
Bill Kurtis and Ray Krone” will be held at the Union
Lutheran Church, which is located at 408 West Market
Street in York.

The evening is free and open to the public and will
include a post-discussion book-signing of Kurtis’s
book “The Death Penalty on Trial: Crisis in American
Justice”, which focuses on Krone’s case and the case
of Thomas Kimbell, Jr. of Lawrence County, who was
also wrongly sentenced to death.  While focusing on
the two cases, Kurtis, who spent three decades as a
reporter and anchor for CBS News, also chronicles his
own journey from death penalty supporter to
abolitionist.

The books will be sold at a cost of $25, and proceeds
will cover expenses.

Central Pennsylvanians to Abolish the Death Penalty,
Legislative Initiative Against the Death Penalty, the
York chapter of Amnesty International, and the York
chapter of the Pennsylvania Prison Society are
co-sponsoring the event.
