Brown to Reagan Urges Life Terms for San Quentin Death Row
Former California governor Edmund G. Brown asks Governor Reagan to commute the 85 San Quentin death row sentences to life without parole. He cites a Supreme Court ruling on due process and argues commutations would avoid retrials and restore dignity to California justice. Reagan plans to study the matter before responding.

High Court Spares Convicted Slayer
The California Supreme Court reduced Robert Arthur Anderson's murder conviction from first to second degree and overturned the death penalty in his 1962 case, ruling no proven premeditation. The ruling cited Witherspoon and noted the killer’s heavy drinking and the brutal stabbing of 10 year old Victoria Hammond. The court also granted habeas stays in other San Quentin cases and upheld a death sentence in a Sacramento liquor store holdup.
