The policy will serve as an instant reprieve for the 737 people on death row in California, which has the largest death row population in the nation. The Democrat's order will immediately close the execution chamber at San Quentin State Prison and withdraw California's lethal injection protocol. The order will not alter any current conviction or sentence, or lead to the release of any prisoner currently on death row.
Ultimately, Newsom decided the moratorium was in the best interest of the state, because he believes the death penalty"is inconsistent with our bedrock values and strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a Californian.
Amazing how CNN can make a Democratic Governor who is ignoring the will and the VOTES of his constituents into a 'cutting edge' champion. What bullshit! Kill full term babies but don't kill murderers.
Ding🎶 Ding🎶 Dem dinner is served
Build the Wall but arround that shithole
Yet they support abortion of babies up to birth!
He betrayed the will of the people. Of course he’s a hero to CNN and the Dems.
At the same time, SF wants to release Kate Steinle's murderer. Yeah we in CA are doing so well.
This proves this guy is more for the criminal and illegals then for the working men and women in California
Sorry ass Governor!!!!! God is gonna deal with you and trump!!!!!!!!
We haven’t executed anyone in years...the death penalty is non existent here.
God is going to deal with you trump Jr. God’s commandments still rule over the land! You ever read about Sodom and Gamora from the Old Testament of the Bible? God destroyed the city because they were all sinners! All the men being with men, and woman with woman!
Are you nuts, these animals killed over 737 people. Most killed more than one.. What is wrong with you.. you need to walk out and let someone else who cares about our State and people.. no Death Penalty and Sanctuary city .. WHAT?
If you kill someone you deserve to be executed. It seems like the liberals care more about the criminals, than the victims. Just stop all the red tape and let Justice be served! Maybe just maybe it can bring a little bit of peace to the victims families.
So let's see it cost a average of $90,000 per year to house a death row inmate in California and there are 747 inmates so that equals out to over $67 million per year. I'm sorry but I feel that's a waste of $. Execute them all and give the $ to school's
He should be thrown out of office for imitating a dictator
Who cares what California voters want. Right? Cutting edge of dictatorship.
Thanks for the impartial straight news... /sarc An actual straight news tweet might say no one has been executed in CA in 13 years. Keep the commentary coming. brianstelter oliverdarcy acosta ChrisCuomo donlemon
This can only be a good thing. The advances in forensic science is revealing just how many innocent people have been executed over the years. To execute anyone is barbaric but to execute a completely innocent person is too horrific for words.
Cutting edge? How about culling the herd of the bad animals ... that would seem a bit more “cutting” yes?
and.....END...split sentences....mandatory minimum sentences....probation and parole fees......private prisons.......DEMAND.....transparent Grand juries...
. . . cutting edge of stupidity. . .
He is the devil
More criminals will flock to CA now ..good get them out of the normal people’s states
Love how CNN uses words like 'bold' and 'cutting edge' to describe this move. CNN is such a joke.
sam_vinograd Newsom for POTUS!!
Let's keep leading the way. I am a Californian.
I hate it. Ask victims or family members of victims how they feel about the criminal who attacked or killed their loved ones. I hate how someone else not affected can decide what punishment they deserve. Might as well bribe an inmate to kill them in prison so you get justice
Bahahahahahahahha
Right on!
It's not cutting edge to let people get away with murder. Gavin is just trying to make sure he stays in control by allowing murderers to vote for him. That's immoral, but Dems will do whatever to stay in control.
Would you consider putting in your will, a statement saying that you do not want someone convicted of killing you to receive the death penalty?
GOVERNOR MOONBEAM 2 for the State of California. 1 MOONBEAM Brown couldn't kill MEDFLIES costing California's $100s of Millions, This MOONBEAM 2 can't kill real KILLERS, the ones that kill Our Kids, Our Youth, Our Young Adults via Drug Gang Murders, Drive byes, Deadly Drugs!
Let’s save the life of capital murder but kill the innocent babies 👶🏽. Better yet deliver the baby then let the mother decide if she wants the baby or not.
Thank you GavinNewsom I appreciate your support on killing babies in their mothers womb and allowing me to work out and eat 3 meals a day for the rest of my life on the California tax payers dime. You are the man I always wanted to be. Love, Hugs and kisses, ❤️Luis B❤️
Cutting edge That doesn't even make sense.
California capital of KILLERS and now they go free to live on! Your Kids are DEAD but the KILLERS live on ..... on your tax dollars! Newsom is a proven NUISANCE to all of US, Our Kids, Our Youth, Our Young Adults! Nuisance Newsom!
Bold stroke my ass, political posturing. Death row inmates most likely to die from suicide or natural deaths.
NEWS BULLETIN...... North Korea Leader KIM hires Newsom to supervises his KILLERS in North Korea, Newsom agreed to take the job with benefits!
cutting edge my a**.
What the hell is wrong with you, you loving everything about murder! Killing babies, and letting killers walk? You are another fine embarrassment to this (used to be) fine state of California, SICKENING!
Oh yes, 'a bold stroke of criminal justice' because California is so proud of the fact that keeping scumbag Charles Manson in prison for 46 Years cost taxpayers over $1 Million. Not one cent for the border wall but millions for the Charlies of the Libtard State!
THE GOLDEN STATE just produced another MOONBEAM GOVERNOR! NUISANCE NEWSOM aka MOONBEAM 2
THIS FOOL is dangerous for Our Society Our Children....allowing KILLERS off of the DEATH PENALTY next he will be paroling them into your neighborhood. California produces Governors with names of MOONBEAM, now NUISANCE NEWSOM! California Left Wing Ignorance!
How objective LOL!
Horrible
So...now Californians get to support these evil criminals for the rest of their unnatural lives. 🤬
Personally don’t approve of capital punishment. Who are we to play God?! God will judge when your time comes.
Well shit fire! That’s 737 more votes for the Governor from hell.
If President Trump would do his job and arrest those that are harboring murders and illegal criminals using illegal laws shoved down the throats of innocent citizens, Navin Gruesome just might end up in prison.
Obviously Newsom cares NOTHING about the victims and their families and he only LOVES evil. Not a shock considering he is a Liberal that loves to support cutting up live babies, rioting, looting, vandalism, arson, and assault. A democrats 6 favorite hobbies. conservatives
makes no difference the don't practice it anyway.
Ha! The only thing Caliloonya has cutting edge is its new Third World image. It’s become a real shithole. Only Democrats are responsible. That’s a fact.
Curiouser & curiouser. Could it be that you are sofa king corrupt that you are afraid you will be put to death for your heinous crimes?
The Apple IIe was really sweet machine. Until the IIgs came out. That was a game changer. Oregon trail yo-yo yo.
Sure why not, shit on families some more
So being on the cutting edge of the criminal justice system means letting criminals run the criminal justice system? First he empties the jails, then overrules the Supreme Court on police use of force and now eliminates the death penalty? This should be interesting.
Right. Why execute them when I’m sure they’re such nice people? Give me a break. These killers on death row should get one appeal and then taken directly to Old Sparky. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Is Newsom gonna put the same moratorium on cutting up live babies ? Or does he just care about evil ? Its time to use a giant saw to cut Cali off from the USA & let it slide into the Pacific with all the liberals democrats progressives socialists still in there conservatives
Where's all the people that cry about votes counting?
So the people of CA who voted to keep capital punishment...🤔
Cutting edge is giving DL’s and state bennies to people the officials know are here illegally? Ok.
I support this move, but your channel’s political bias could not be more obvious here.
Not bad enough he supports illegals over US citizens now he goes against voters and sides with criminals over grieving families no wonder CA tried to split into 2 states even CA hates CA
Yeah, a bold stroke to f*ck over the victims' families and the voters of California.
Yet this dirtbag is ok with killing defenseless babies. Infanticide
Tick tock, he knows what's coming. 💥💥💥💥💥
And executive order against the voting of the people? We just put it on this! Keep criticizing Trump while doing even worse. At least we voted for what Trump is trying to achieve. Hypocrite
WTF kind of neutral headline is that? Lol And you wonder why most of the country ignores you
Cutting edge of criminal justice? Ever been abroad? Ever checked out what the rest of the world is doing. Hint: California is catching up.
So now you want to keep all the murderers who lie in wait to kill alive instead of executing them!
Sedate and remove the head. Cruel? No they're asleep. Unusual? Research continues.
Trump and Russia collusion pressured him to do this.
Pelosi's nephew...
Bravo bravo!!!
In 2016, 7 million Californians voted to uphold capital punishment 53-47. They even voted to speed up the process, but what do they know?
Wait, I thought the dems hated executive orders. Oh, that’s because they are hypocritical by nature.
Trying to make a talking point won't change the abortion debate. Nice try.
Gavin should give up the governor’s seat and move to Hollywood. He would be so great playing the slime ball politician on the big screen! Just look at him and tell me I’m wrong!!!
This is the same guy who criticizes president Trump for using his executive power. If governors are to throw punches at the president’s use of executive order, they should lead by examples of not using their power.
Who again that said that elections don't matter? It does matter who you put in office.
What an absolute joke of a governor we have...the only thing that will rise faster than our taxes will be the murder rate!!!
Gotta love it! Fighting to keep my family afloat and cover our monthly health care premiums while the great governor makes moves to protect those convicted of capital murder.
Gavin Newsome’s new ride to work everyday....
I like the way they did everything they could to make him look like Matthew McConnell 👏👏😂🤣😂🤣🤠
Sick and tired of DemocRats!
I’m sure the victims families are so happy.
Walking on the bodies of the dead !! You can’t possibly sink any lower than that ?!?! Weeeell?!?!
How is paying to house and feed murderers for the rest of their lives cutting edge?
Just put 10 in a cell and let them rot. Problem solved.
So, in California you can murder children after they're born and you can murder someone else without being executed
He’s gonna make a move to allow inmates to vote and wants them on his side. This idiot is going to bury CA.
Hhhmm
By 'cutting edge' they mean 'ignoring the fifth amendment'. 'nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of LIFE or limb'
Anyone see Lori Loughlin ?
“A bold stroke...cutting edge” ... CNN sucks.
Talking Out His Azz
About time
Cutting edge of criminal justice.. Is that a quote or opinion. Journalism people, you knock others.
What’s the point? Most people on Kalifornia’s death row die of old age.
He should test it out
And on top of that, all criminals will be set free to live in sanctuary cities
Yeah a bold stroke to overrule the voters in California again.
