On the eve of his third death penalty trial the State of Indiana finally abandoned their 27 year campaign to execute People’s Law Office client Zolo Azania.  Dismissing all the death penalty charges, the State agreed to have Zolo sentenced on his 1982 murder and robbery conviction.  He will be immediately released from death row.  Also, under the terms of the agreement he will be allowed to challenge his 1982 convictions  in federal habeas proceedings.  This is a significant victory for Zolo, his supporters, his lawyers and all opponents of the death penalty.
