Death penalty sails through state Senate in Albany
Gov Pataki may sign the death penalty into law as soon as Wednesday after the Senate approved 39 to 18. The plan would use lethal injection and limit death penalty crimes to police and corrections officers murders, judges and prosecutors murders, witnesses murders, serial killings, murder for hire, terrorist or torture killings, and murders during felonies. A two trial path would have juries first find guilt then decide on punishment with safeguards and a six month charging window.
