Governor delays vote over death warrant deadline
Harrisburg officials warn summer prison riots could erupt if the legislature overrides Gov. Casey veto of a bill mandating governor signa ture on death warrants within 60 days after the high court upholds a sentence. Casey urges delay until fall amid prison tensions and 171 inmates on death row. House override set for today. Senate to follow.
