Brown pledges death penalty veto in State of the State
Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. pledged that any bill reinstating the death penalty would be vetoed when it reaches his desk. In his State of the State address he called the issue a matter of conscience and proposed life imprisonment without parole for capital crimes. Brown, opposing capital punishment, noted the California Supreme Court had struck down the 1973 death penalty law and lawmakers are pushing new bills for reinstatement.
