State Group Urges No Death Penalty
Wichita lawyer E Lael Alkire, vice chairman of a Kansas Judicial Committee subcommittee, said the panel will recommend eliminating the death penalty and repealing the Habitual Criminal Act. It will also urge reductions in minimum sentences for many crimes, including armed robbery. Local officials and federal prosecutors voiced concern, warning against weakening tools to curb crime. The proposals, part of Kansas Criminal Code revision, will be presented to the 1967 Legislature.
