North Carolina House Speaker Pushes Study of Death Penalty Bill
Speaker James C Green said he has asked three House Judiciary chairmen to study death penalty legislation with the attorney general's office and the Criminal Code Commission. The goal is a constitutionally sound bill ready for consideration as the first order of business in the 1977 General Assembly, following the Supreme Court ruling that NC capital punishment was unconstitutional. The ruling left 116 death row inmates with life imprisonment as the maximum penalty for crimes since the decision.
