Est\u00e1bamos de pie fuera de la sala de audiencias en el Capitol Annex esperando a que estuviera disponible. La espera hab\u00eda sido larga. Los legisladores de Kentucky, con algunas valientes excepciones, estaban firmemente a favor de mantener la pena de muerte. Un par de ellos hab\u00edan bloqueado cada medida de abolici\u00f3n que se les hab\u00eda presentado durante a\u00f1os. <\/p>\n

Pero por alguna raz\u00f3n hab\u00edan cedido, al menos por unas horas. Est\u00e1bamos esperando una audiencia que hab\u00eda sido convocada por los presidentes de las Comisiones Judiciales de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes y del Senado estatal despu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de obstruccionismo. \u00cdbamos a aprovecharlo al m\u00e1ximo. Varios cientos de abolicionistas y otras personas interesadas en la pena de muerte se hab\u00edan reunido en Frankfort esa ma\u00f1ana. <\/p>\n

Yo estaba esperando en el pasillo con un reportero, y charlamos para pasar el rato. Ya me hab\u00eda dado la impresi\u00f3n antes de esa ma\u00f1ana de que simpatizaba con la abolici\u00f3n. As\u00ed que no me sorprendi\u00f3 o\u00edrle mostrarse vagamente favorable. Ambos admitimos que la audiencia era un peque\u00f1o milagro, ya que ambos presidentes nunca hab\u00edan expresado nada m\u00e1s que apoyo al castigo capital. Tambi\u00e9n sab\u00edamos que el camino por delante iba a ser largo. <\/p>\n

\u00c9l pregunt\u00f3: \u201c\u00bfCu\u00e1ntas veces m\u00e1s tenemos que hacer esto?\u00bb. En ese momento, tuve lo que algunos podr\u00edan llamar un despertar espiritual. De repente, fui capaz de poner toda la frustraci\u00f3n de nuestra lucha en su perspectiva adecuada. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u00bfCu\u00e1ntas veces m\u00e1s tenemos que hacer esto?\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u201cUna menos\u00bb, respond\u00ed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
