Agreed...but this time, if he's convicted, he should be executed within 24 hours of that conviction.
On August 24, 2020, in a 7–0 decision, the Supreme Court of California upheld Scott’s conviction but overturned his death sentence; the court found that Scott’s trial judge[1] had improperly dismissed jurors who opposed capital punishment without asking them whether they could put their views aside. Justice Leondra Kruger explained that, per Supreme Court rulings since 1968, “Jurors may not be excused merely for opposition to the death penalty, but only for views rendering them unable to fairly consider imposing that penalty in accordance with their oath. This is the meaning of the guarantee of an impartial jury.”[1][142][143] Prosecutors initially stated that they would retry the penalty phase, but subsequently reversed that decision in June 2021.[144]
On September 22, 2021, California Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine Massullo ruled that Scott would be re-sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[145] The following month, Massullo scheduled a hearing on that matter for December 8.[146][147] On December 8, Massullo re-sentenced Scott to life in prison without the possibility of parole, for the first-degree murder of Laci, and a concurrent sentence of 15 years to life for the second-degree murder of Conner.[2][148]
In October 2022, Scott was moved off San Quentin’s death row, and transferred to Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, California.[149]
