Newsom May Commute All California Death Sentences

“Gov. Gavin Newsom is reportedly considering commuting the sentences of the 563 people condemned to death row in California prisons, as public opinion has shifted in the week since a Tennessee female prisoner survived a botched execution by lethal injection,” the Sacramento Bee reports.

“Newsom, who is term-limited, has discussed with his advisors reducing death row inmates’ sentences to life in prison without parole as one of his final acts in office.”
