Anti-death penalty measure qualifies for November ballot

Does that include the ObamaCare Death Panels?

Gutless bastards, anyone who supports the repeal..

Victims and their families and the crimes done mean nothing to them.. inmates die of old age.. the DR population ages and ages.. Justice is not just blind, it is nauseated as well..

I live in CA and this is the first I've heard of this Turd Sandwich.

I guess I should start paying much more attention to Politics. Anybody here know of a good Website where this kind of stuff is discussed? /s

Connecticut state Rep. Gary Holder-Winfield, D-New Haven, carried a successful bill -- now awaiting his governor's signature -- to convert that state's death penalty to life without possibility of parole.

And did so despite numerous polls showing a clear majority of CT voters favoring the DP.

Even though this circumvents the intent of the law...in that Californians DO want the death penalty, I agree that it is time to end this circus. The anti-death penalty mob makes tens of millions each year in court awarded atty fees for representing those sentienced to death, or on trial for their lives.

But the real reason to go along with it is that the inmates have been succerssfully gamig the system for decades. They know thay even if sentenced to death, there is no real chance of being executed, but those on death row get much better accomodations, privileges, etc...they actually WANT to be on death row..

It’s weird. Californians don’t mind killing babies but they hate killing murderers. What a strange state.

California just spent almost 3 years & millions of $$$$ to ‘rebuild’ the gas chamber/lethal injection chamber because the loonies said it was ‘cruel & unusual punishment’.

If they get this turned over—that money is more $$$ wasted in Calif.
