Biography

Scott Langley was individually named among fourteen death-penalty abolition protesters arrested at the U.S. Supreme Court on January 17, 2012.

A June 27, 2012 Abolition Action Committee report individually names Scott Langley among fourteen protesters arrested after displaying a “STOP EXECUTIONS!” banner at the U.S. Supreme Court on January 17, 2012. The group opposed executions and asserted First Amendment protections. The report describes a later trial of thirteen of the fourteen arrested people but does not identify which person was absent; no individual conviction, sentence, later custody admission or release is assigned here. Contemporary Abolition Action Committee report, preserved in the WashLaw mailing-list archive.

The December 2016 report names this activist among sixteen arrested at the Pentagon witness on December 28 for disobeying a lawful order and subsequently released from processing. Cardboard figures of Daniel Berrigan carried at the action were memorial cutouts, not an additional arrestee. The article supplies no measured jail interval. Contemporary report, The Nuclear Resister.
