LAT: California Death Penalty is Dysfuctional
This is exactly what the ACLU and other radical pro-criminal organizations have wanted for years. They have done all they can to slow the process and raise the cost, so they can tell people it doesn’t work because it’s too slow and too costly.
In one, five law enforcement commissioners complained that the majority was “seeking to undermine public confidence” in the death penalty and that the report “unmistakenly reveals a personal bias” against capital punishment.
Eight other commissioners wrote a separate report calling for abolition of capital punishment.
Four signed a statement saying “the time may be right” for a ballot measure to end the death penalty and alternately proposed limiting capital offenses to less than 10% of first-degree murders.
Unreal.
The way to fix this, is to speed up the system; not eliminate the death penalty. Sickening.
