The last execution in California occurred in 2006. In July, 2014, a Federal Judge declared California’s capital punishment law to be unconstitutional. Looks like their execution chamber is going to remain in pristine condition for quite some time.
“The last execution in California occurred in 2006.”
I think I remember that one. I was stuck in a NY airport all night and was further punished with CNN. All night they kept hammering how this guy had changed; he even wrote a couple of children’s books in prison, so therefore he should not be put to death.
The reporters said precious little about what crime(s) he committed to warrant the death penalty.
