California death penalty bills face committee rejection
In Sacramento the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee approved amendments to revival bills AB354 and SB442, but Senate opinions and Deukmejian objected to a built‑in sunset. The measure would expire Jan 1, 1977, after a study on deterrence, a provision Younger calls unconscionable. Deukmejian vows to push his SB450 for floor vote if possible.
