It’s California, when was the last time they actually executed a murderer?
It was Clarence Ray Allen in 2006. He was on death row 23 years and was 76 years old when he was executed

Absolutely absurd. That is cruel to everybody involved, the victims, the criminal and all the people of the state. Is the state philosophy "Spread the suffering as far as possible?"
