Reform era missteps loom over New York murder law
The critique targets a new murder statute and jury hesitations in New York. It denounces anti reform lawmakers, cites parricide defense tactics, and warns that making murder hard to prove endangers public safety while rewarding criminals. The piece condemns O Connor and calls for stricter law and proper justice.
