Massachusetts Senate Upheld Death Penalty Veto Clash
In Boston the Massachusetts Senate fell two votes short of overriding Governor Sargent, as executives sessions and boards shield public decision processes. The House earlier voted to override. The bill would impose the death penalty for killers of police, firefighters, and prison guards, among other cases, and was vetoed after passage. If two more Senate votes had shifted, Massachusetts would join 23 other states with capital punishment, amid protracted debate on deterrence and victims.
