- Inmate's Life Should Be Spared ; Skillicorn Execution Would Send Wrong Message.
Dennis Skillicorn would be the first to acknowledge he has made many dreadful mistakes. So, too, would Missouri officials be committing a tragic blunder if they execute him as planned on Aug. 27. The Missouri Board of Probation and Parole should recommend Gov. Matt Blunt commute his death sentence, and the governor should heed such sound advice for at least two significant reasons. Skillicorn was an accomplice in crimes but killed no one and has been an invaluable, rehabilitated contributing member of society who would continue to be incarcerated. Fourteen years ago this month, Richard Drummond kindly stopped his car to assist three stranded motorists near Kingdom City. The three men, Allen Nicklasson, Tim DeGraffenreid and Skillicorn, climbed into Drummond's car. "I pulled out the gun,...

- 'Dead Man' Leaves Pittsburgh
Absent the traditional foreign language and period costumes, the backdrop of "Dead Man Walking" bears instead an all too contemporary setting and theme. Jake Heggie's opera is based on the personal account of a nun, Helen Prejean, as she worked to assist a death row inmate in Angola, Louisiana's State Penitentiary. Capital punishment, its pros, cons, issues and impacts completely occupied the lengthy musical outpouring of powerful voices, creditable acting and clever staging, conveyed on a complex score that challenged musicians and listeners alike. Their flyer pointed out that, "Of the more than 230 death row prisoners in Pennsylvania, almost 70 percent are people of color."
