Assembly panel OKs bill ending capital punishment
Sacramento The Assembly Criminal Justice Committee approved abolition of the death penalty in California after Ramsey Clark called executions outrageous. The bill, supported largely by Democrats, moves to the Assembly floor but faces slim chances this session. Senate panel backed a separate bill making murder of an on duty officer punishable by death. Clark and Stanford law professor Amsterdam argued the penalty is inefficient and biased against the poor and minorities. Opponents cited deterrence and cited past executions, while law enforcers warned against rising violence without capital punishment guidelines. The Senate Judiciary Committee also considered the Richardson bill with bipartisan support, though leaders warned of ongoing political hurdles.
