House Bill 1778, proposed by Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria) is an attempt to curb the problem of students taunting and terrorizing their peers.
On Tuesday, House Bill 999 passed through the House Judiciary Committee, setting up a future House vote to abolish the death penalty in Pennsylvania. House Democratic authors of the bill argue it is an important step to further criminal justice reform in the state.
“Many times, we get it right, but all you need with the death penalty is get it wrong once," said Rep. Jordan Harris, the Majority Chair of the House Appropriations Committee.“Certain crimes are just so heinous that you have to have the option for the death penalty, like the murder of a police officer or the murder of a child," said Senator Mike Regan .
