BREAKING: California governor to impose death penalty moratorium; state with largest death row hasn't executed anyone since 2006.
EMBARGO HOLD FOR RELEASE FOR PUBLICATION ON WEDNESDAY, MAR. 13, AND THEREAFTER - FILE - This Sept. 21, 2010, file photo shows the interior of the lethal injection facility at San Quentin State Prison in San Quentin, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to sign a moratorium on the death penalty in California Wednesday, March 13, 2019.
California hasn’t executed anyone since 2006, under then-Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and inmates are far more likely to die of old age. While the governor’s move is certain to be challenged in court, aides cite his power to grant reprieves written into the state Constitution. “The intentional killing of another person is wrong,” he said, “and as governor, I will not oversee the execution of any individual.”
Newsom, a Democrat, told reporters earlier this month that he “never believed in the death penalty from a moral perspective,” also citing ethical and economic concerns. He said he’s campaigned “vigorously” for the last two ballot measures where voters rejected repealing the death penalty.
