Join us for an event to discuss what happens to a “pro-life” state when the state kills. Panelists will discuss the history and constitutionality around the death penalty and two related bills currently in the Nebraska Legislature. NFP Board President Maggie Ballard will moderate this event.
Featuring:
Spike Eickholt is a lobbyist and attorney. His lobbying clients include the ACLU of Nebraska, Nebraskans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, the Nebraska Criminal Defense Attorneys Association, and others. Spike’s law practice focuses mostly in criminal defense. Spike has been involved in number of lawsuits related to the death penalty, including a challenge to the repeal of the repeal of the death penalty in Nebraska in 2016, a challenge to the administrative protocol of the lethal injection process in 2019, and a public records case relating to the source of the drugs used in lethal injections in Nebraska in 2020.
Jill Francke served as the Executive Director at Nebraskans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty from 2008 to 2011 and later worked for Equal Justice USA. Jill received an M.P.P. from the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy in 2013. Jill currently lives just outside of Lincoln and works as an TIT consultant.
Alex M. Houchin has built a career working within the criminal justice system to advance prosocial alternatives to incarceration. He holds a bachelor's degree (and high school teaching certificate) in English, and often lends his time and talent toward efforts to preserve and advance solidarity and human dignity through public policy—including his work since 2020 as the sole staff member of Nebraskans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. In his spare time, he enjoys making music, birdwatching, and tending to way too many houseplants.
