Representative Elihu D Stone of Dorchester filed a rare bill in the current Legislature proposing that capital punishment be reserved for those already under a life sentence at murder verdict time. It would sentence first degree murder to life and second degree to a term of years, with a pardon rule tied to life expectancy. The governor and council could bypass innocence doubts.
