NEW: Attorney General Barr says the Trump administration will advance a proposal to expedite death penalty proceedings in 'cases of mass murder' or murder of law enforcement officer. 'Punishment must be swift,' Barr says.
The Department of Justice will introduce a new bill aimed at speeding up death penalty proceedings for mass shooters and cop killers, Attorney General William Barr announced Monday.
"Today, I’m also directing the Department of Justice to propose legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the death penalty, and that this capital punishment be delivered quickly, decisively, and without years of needless delay," Trump said a week ago. The El Paso shooter, for instance, carried out his attack in Texas, where far more prisoners have been put to death by execution than any other state.
