Death Penalty: Calif. Court Rejects Capital Punishment
The California Supreme Court ruled capital punishment unconstitutional under the state constitution. The decision, hailed as a turning point in the national debate over cruel or unusual punishment, commuted all death sentences to life terms. Justice Wright authored the majority with a five-page dissent by Justice McComb. Angela Davis bail and other capital cases were affected. A separate Texas award noted the 1972 professional engineers honor. A North San Antonio two-alarm fire caused over $30,000 damage to an upstairs apartment, displacing residents.
