Death Penalty Repeal and Three Fourths Verdict Debate
The legislature's investigating committee, appointed under the Birch resolution, aims to report by the fortieth day on potential state savings from altered business practices. Debate continues over whether death penalty repeal is an administration victory, with Gov Byrne urging the measure and lawmakers split. A sentiment to abolish the state immigration department surfaces, while a bill to allow three fourths verdicts in civil cases is expected to advance this session after a narrow defeat two years ago. Hot Springs reps show mixed views on the five mile act affecting the soldiers home.
