FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The issue will be fiercely debated in California where a poll last year put
support for the death penalty in serious cases at 68 per cent.
However, the state has not put anyone to death since 2006 when a judge halted
executions until a new death chamber was built and lethal injection
procedures improved.
Since 1976 the state has executed a total of 13 people. In the same time Texas
carried out 481 executions.
Supporters of repealing the death penalty are arguing their case primarily on
cost grounds. They claim it would save the state tens of millions of dollars
a year which is spent on maintaining death row and paying for lawyers
involved in decade long appeals.
The measure is being sponsored by Jeanne Woodford, the former warden of San
Quentin who is now an anti-death penalty advocate.
“We certainly did not know that we would spend $4 billion on 13
executions,” she said. “Our system is broken, expensive and it
always will carry the grave risk of a mistake.”
Jim Nielsen, a Republican State Assemblyman, said repealing it would amount to “spitting
in the face of the grieving victims of these vicious heinous atrocious
murderers.”
