Kamala Harris has at times appeared to balance a deep personal distaste for the ultimate punishment with the political realities of campaigning to be a local and state prosecutor.
When Rep. Tulsi Gabbard used the spotlight of the debate stage recently to accuse Sen. Kamala Harris of withholding key evidence that would have"freed an innocent man from death row" during her time serving as California attorney general, Harris fired back a stern retort.
"Ultimately," Dunham told ABC News,"the judgment for the voter is to try to determine whether the candidates' beliefs are genuine." Two days after Espinoza's death and two days before Espinoza's funeral, Harris held a joint press conference with the then-head of the San Francisco police union, where she announced that she would not seek the death penalty for Hill.
"It took a lot of courage and integrity to make a campaign promise like that -- and then keep it," Hill told CNN. The case that Gabbard may have been referring to on the debate stage was that of convicted murderer Kevin Cooper, who was sentenced to death for a quadruple homicide in San Bernadino, California, in 1983.
The then 8-year-old victim said in his videotaped testimony that he believed three men who had visited his home earlier that night could have been the attackers, but did not testify that multiple people were present during the attack. The victim would later testify before a court against Cooper. Cooper has won himself an advocate in reality star Kim Kardashian West in recent weeks. In May, Kardashian posted a photo of herself with Cooper.
