Ami recalled hearing that her mother was killed when she was five, and the pain and despair that she has felt then and in the years since. "Those on death row and those who are executed have families, too," she said. "They experience the same pain and devastation that I felt. The most premeditated murder of all is the death penalty." The death penalty only creates more victims. Ami White is now the president of the Texas Chapter of Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation.
