California Senate reviews amendments to death penalty bill
In Sacramento the Senate examined amendments to SB155 restoring the death penalty amid Gov Brown's anticipated veto. The Assembly had passed the measure 54-23, and a UPI poll suggested the Senate was four votes short of an override. The amendments tighten evidence rules, curb past-crime evidence, and expand jury discretion on verdicts between death and life without parole.
