California's administration of the death penalty is "close to collapse" and would require massive new state spending or changes in sentencing laws to end decades of delay and dysfunction, a state commission reported Monday.
The findings, by the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice, grew out of the first comprehensive look at the state's death penalty in the 30 years since capital punishment was restored in California.
Although commissioners were unanimous on some core issues, including that nearly $100 million in additional annual spending was needed for reform, they strongly disagreed on others, and the report was accompanied by several dissenting statements.
Huh, I don’t know why California can’t seem to get it together fiscally. I mean, when someone asks for $100 million, they should just get it right?
How’s this for a bit of “reform”; Execute people who’ve been sentenced to death. Once there’s no doubt that the person committed the crime, put them down like the rabid animal they are. No more 20-30+ years on death row, wasting everyone’s time and valuable taxpayer dollars.
DNA evidence? You go straight to the head of the line.
