Connecticut execution protesters go on five-day march

<snip> Protesters plan to walk for periods each day through Thursday night, stopping at the state Capitol, churches and for vigils along the way.

The 30-mile journey will eventually lead to the prison where Michael Ross is scheduled for lethal injection Friday in what would be the first execution in New England in 45 years.

Ross fought off attempts by public defenders, death penalty opponents and his own family to stop his execution last year and came within hours of death in January.

"So many people have asked me, 'Why are you doing this for Michael Ross?"' said Robert Nave, executive director of the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty. "We're not doing this for Michael Ross. We're doing this because it is state-sponsored homicide." <snip>
