Branstad predicts Iowa capital punishment next session
Governor Branstad told a radio audience he believes the Iowa Legislature will approve the death penalty next year and that he will sign it. Senate Leader Horn questioned the optimism, noting political dynamics and past hurdles but acknowledging changing public sentiment after high profile crimes. The discussion also touched on parental notification for abortion laws, and a death penalty petition drive with families of crime victims participating.
