Unfortunately..

Ramirez, convicted in 1989, is not likely to be executed any time soon. He still has another round of federal appeals to pursue and the state's death penalty has been on hold for the past 15 months on order of a federal judge.

More than 650 people are awaiting execution in California, home to the nation's largest death row.

Incredible. They should take a lesson from Texas.....

Too bad he was convicted in CA.

If had commited these crimes in VA or TX, he would already be wearing a grass tuxedo!!!

The Constitution forbids “cruel and unusual” punishment. Execution by a rifle shot to the head is neither cruel nor unusual, historically, though it is messy.

the federal judge who has delayed the execution has offered his home to the Night Stalker in anticipation of his pardon by future President Clinton.

California "enforces" the death penalty the way China "enforces" food & drug standards, and Bush "enforces" our borders...

And they all tell us it is for our own good.

If only our courts would take these things as seriously as they do a sealt belt infraction.
