Sure, Californians support it but the state doesn't have it. More condemned have died of suicide or natural causes than execution. We've gone years waiting for ONE judge to be satisfied with our lethal injection procedures only to be stymied by Obama's FDA and it's war on death penalty states over sodium thiopental supplies and "safe" alternatives.

The last I calculated, CA would have to execute one person per month for nearly 60 years to clear Death Row, assuming no one else is added. There are some still waiting since Carter was president. It's madness and there appears to be nothing CA voters can do about making their justice system work.

The death penalty needs to be brought back and no waiting 20 years on death row, either. Public hangings would be a fantastic deterrent.
