Washington lawmaker wants to keep death penalty after sister's murder by Green River Killer
Washington state Representative Jenny Graham feels like her sister is with her every day she is in Olympia.
“Her Bible is with me on the House floor,” said Graham (R-Spokane). “I took my oath with that Bible.”
Graham is prepared to tell her sister’s story on the House floor if the bill to eliminate the death penalty comes up for debate. She opposes the effort to abolish capital punishment in Washington state.
In 1982, her sister Debbie Estes was strangled by the Green River Killer, decades later identified as Gary Ridgway.

Thing of it is though Ridgeway avoided the death penalty by cooperating with police.
My problem with the death penalty is how inconsistently it is applied. If anyone deserved to die it was Gary Ridgeway.
