LOS ANGELES — California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to announce Wednesday a moratorium on executions in the state, granting a reprieve for more than 700 inmates waiting on the largest death row in the country.
Newsom is expected to sign an executive order that will put in place a moratorium on capital punishment in California, withdraw the state's lethal injection protocol, and shut down the execution chamber at San Quentin State Prison. Newsom planned to argue that capital punishment disproportionately affects people of color, is costly, and ineffective.
California, always standing up for the illegals!! Wonder how the victims families feel about this?
Put your money where your mouth is Gov and end abortion.
Maybe a death row existed in California but you can't make me believe it was in operation....
I love it. If it were me I would want the needle. Those days must dragggggg byyyyy.....plus because of all the appeals, life without parole is cheaper too.
I honestly wish the blue section would literally break off and float towards China so we can be rid of them as part of the US.
“Governor, Lacy Peterson’s parents are holding on Line 1.”
But criminals in California won't halt 'their use' of the death penalty. And Gavin can toast Robert Alton Harris with some hamburgers?
