Harris created a special Hate Crimes Unit as San Francisco District Attorney. She focused on hate crimes against LGBT children and teens in schools. She convened a national conference to confront the “gay-transgender panic defense”, which has been used to justify violent hate crimes.[40] Harris supports same-sex marriage in California and opposed both Proposition 22 and Proposition 8.[41]
In her campaign for California Attorney General, she has received the endorsements of numerous groups, including the abortion rights EMILY’s List...
Harris is opposed to the death penalty but has said that she would review each case individually.[27] Her position was tested in April 2004, when SFPD Officer Isaac Espinoza was murdered in the Bayview district. Harris announced that she would not seek the death penalty for the man accused of his killing. The decision evoked protests from the San Francisco Police Officers Association, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and others.
Harris’s position against the death penalty was tested again in the case of Edwin Ramos, an illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member who was accused of murdering Tony Bologna and his sons Michael and Matthew.[21] On September 10, 2009, Harris announced she would seek life in prison without the possibility of parole rather than the death penalty in the Ramos case.[30]
Harris has expressed the belief that life without possibility of parole is a better, and more cost-effective, punishment.[31]
Pluck her.
