Terrica Redfield, Reprieve Fellow 2006 - 2007
Terrica Redfield is a 2002 graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law. While a law student, Terrica interned with the Virginia Capital Representation Resource Center where she was confronted by the injustice inherent in the U.S system of capital punishment. As an African-American and native of Mississippi, she was particularly struck by the ways racism affected such life and death decisions, especially in the Southern US. After law school, Terrica completed a two-year Fellowship at the Fair Trial Initiative (FTI) assisting defendants charged with capital offences throughout the state of North Carolina. Hosted by the Southern Center for Human Rights (SCHR) in Atlanta, Georgia, and in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative of Alabama, Terrica used her one-year Reprieve Fellowship to provide direct representation to people facing the death penalty at trial, on appeal, and in the post-conviction review process in the state of Alabama, providing assistance to trial counsel in Alabama, and working to ensure that capital juries in Alabama are more inclusive of minorities.
