Judge reinstates death penalty in state challenge
A Norwalk Superior Court judge challenged California death penalty limits by telling a jury it could consider capital punishment for Alexander Dukes, an East Los Angeles man convicted of first degree murder. The ruling and planned Nov. 2 penalty hearing face appeals after the California Supreme Court banned the death penalty earlier. Judge Leetham argues the state constitutional amendment became effective Nov. 7, and that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling conflicts lack majority support. Deputy Public Defender Richard Haney plans to seek a writ of prohibition and anticipates higher court review.
