"At 678, California has the nation's largest death row population, yet the state has not executed anyone in four years." That sentence alone helps to explain why California faces the massive deficit that it has. Why is the state refusing to punish people that have been found guilty of heinous crimes by a jury and sentenced by a judge? Some inmates have even been on death row since the 1970's! Hey, Governor Awnold! You would have less crowded prisons if you would just rid the system of the 678 pieces of waste you have there now.
Stop with the stalling. Fix the appeals process. Put a timetable on all of it. If a man/woman is unable to prove his/her innocence within 10 years of conviction/sentencing, why should we continue to pay millions for his/her food, care, and well-being?
