Santa Clara Co. district attorney moves to resentence death row inmates to life without parole

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- As San Quentin undergoes a philosophical and physical transformation from a maximum security prison to a rehabilitation center, the death penalty as we once viewed it is changing. 

Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen has changed his stance and is now calling to change the sentence of 15 death row inmates.

Wrong. It's not changing attitudes. It's Gavin Newsom. He's the one that put a moratorium on it when he came into office after the People of California voted to keep it.

  1. Gavin should have gone to jail for refusing to obey Prop 8 on gay marriage. And idiots still voted for him. We wouldn't be here if he'd been jailed.

    1. Don't forget. Kamala Harris never lifted a finger to represent the people of California when she was CA AG and the Prop 8 case went to court. Then it was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge who later announced he was gay and proceeded to marry his longtime partner.
      Talk about getting screwed.

  2. "The people" sure as hell didn't include this Californian! As far as I'm concerned the death penalty should be brought back yesterday, with NEWSOM being the first one to go!!!

  3. Keeping them alive is purely an economic no no. Wack the killers send their bodies to a medical school and you don't have to house and feed the assholes

  6. Let's go green instead. Call it a homosapien recycling center. They can be composted and turned into garden mulch or fed to hogs and come back as bacon!

  7. Death row inmates spend the rest of their lives in prison anyway. This just extends their term. Biggest change would be the new sentence putting a dent in the pockets of the lawyers who make a career out of filing appeals.
