On Monday April 5, my partner and I drive up to downtown San Francisco to interview Stefanie Foucher of Death Penalty Focus. The interview lasted about thirty minutes in her office as we asked many different questions about her experiences with the death penalty and
specific cases that have occurred in capital punishment. She was very thorough in her explanations of answering our questions and used examples to clarify her ideas. At the end of the interview, she gave each of us a folder that statistics about the death penalty and about Death Penalty Focus. Stefanie was excited to have us their and we could tell that she wanted to talk to us. Some people do not like to be interviewed by high school boys, but it did not seem to bother her that we were. She enjoyed that we are doing our social justice project the death penalty and she wanted to answer all of our questions so that our project could be the best possible.
Stefanie was very welcoming and gracious that we were interviewing her. She was very nice and answered all of our questions thoroughly so that we fully understood what she was talking about. She supplied us with a packet of papers that explained Death Penalty Focus and the death penalty in general.
I learned more about Death Penalty Focus which is what I expected to learn. We asked her a few different relating to her specific job within the non profit company and questions about the overall company and what it is trying to do. She told us how she has visited multiple colleges in the bay area such as Stanford, Santa Clara, and UC Berkeley to voice her opinion and view on the death penalty.
I learned that district judges can determine whether a man receives the death penalty or not. This can be unfair because judges have their different views on the death penalty. Some are in favor of it and some are against. I also learned that she taught a class relating to capital punishment when she attended UC Berkeley. The point of her class was to make her students more aware of capital punishment. She wanted to outlay the facts of the death penalty and how it is costing millions of dollars that could be going to our schools or other areas of the state.
I was very impressed with the interview. It went just how I expected. She was very nice and gracious despite that we showed up thirty minutes late. She was very smart and knew what she was talking about. She was prepared for us to ask all types of different questions relating to her life, to her job, to the company she works for.
