NJ to Suspend Executions
by TChris
The State of New Jersey is poised to impose a moratorium on the death penalty.
New Jersey would block executions while a panel examined death penalty-related issues and for two months after the panel issued its report. The process would take about a year.
The state senate passed a bill to suspend executions pending the study, and the state assembly is likely to pass it on Monday. The acting governor, Richard Codey, said he’ll sign the law.
