In Sacramento the state Supreme Court heard oral arguments over the 1973 California capital punishment law. Opponents called it arbitrary and unconstitutional under U S Supreme Court guidelines, while supporters urged keeping a retooled version with juries weighing special circumstances and mitigating factors.
