"We feel that the death penalty is a
form of cruel and unusual punishment,"
he said. "Even the victims of the most
hideous murders didn't have the terror
of knowing what time they would die
because most murders are done in the heat
of passion."
Kurtenbach said he also objects to the
state killing someone in the name of all
people.
"The reason for the death penalty is
that it deters other murders," Kurtenbach
said, "but that simply cannot be proven."
Another problem with the death
penalty is that it is a final form of
punisliment. Since 1910, Kurtenbach
said there has been at least one case a year
where someone who was charged and
convicted of first degree murder was found
innocent.
The NCLU also favors the insantiy
defense so a person could plead not
responsible by reason of insanity, he
said.
"A person lacking criminal intent who
did not know what he or she was doing
at the time of the offense should serve
time until he or she is cured and then
be released," Kurtenbach said. "That
would be our criminal justice system at
its best."
Kurtenbach said a person's race and
economic status should not be a factor
in something as serious as the death
penalty. For example, a black or minority
person has 60 percent better chance of
receiving the death penalty with an all
white jury than a white person has, he

said. Wealthy people have an advantage
because they can hire the best attorneys,
he said.
In the Louisville Faith Christian School
case, Kurtenbach said the NCLU is proba
bly on both sides. The state must insure
that adequate education takes place, he
said, yet the people attending the school
have First Amendment rights.
As a solution, Kurtenbach said, he
would like to see direct mandatory testing
used at the school. If the children's scores
were similar to the scores of children in
other schools, they would be left alone.
If not, the teachers would liave to be
certified, he said.
"They have a right to ignore the law
as long as they are willing to accept the
consequences," Kurtenbach said. "We
have a history of civil disobedience in this
country."
A NCLU case that has national
ramifications involved a paid Protestant
chaplain who began each legislative session
with a prayer. Members of the clergy now
take turns giving the prayer so all major
denominations are represented and they
are not paid.
However, Kurtenbach said Sen. Ernest
Chambers, who filed the complaint, would
like to see the prayer eliminated.
Kurtenbach said there are chaplains in
Congress who are paid as much as $60,000
a year.
"No law is self-enforcing. The
government can be arrogant," he said.
"Somebody has to be around to fight in
an organized way. We offer that support
to people."
