Legislature Overrules Brown Veto On Death Penalty
California lawmakers debate life and death as the Senate and Assembly override Gov Brown's veto of a death penalty bill. Supporters like Deukmejian argue the measure saves lives, while opponents warn of moral and societal implications. The bill targets first degree murder with special circumstances and aims to align with Supreme Court guidelines. The override follows partisan votes and reflects a clash between conscience and constituents.
