Governor Inslee signed a bill on Thursday that repeals the death penalty from Washington state law.
, the Washington Senate passed a measure to remove capital punishment as a sentencing option for aggravated murder and instead mandate a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Republican Sen. Keith Wagoner argued that abolishing the death penalty denies victims and their families justice, and removes a tool that prosecutors and law enforcement need to gain information about other victims. “I think the death penalty is a perfectly appropriate punishment in certain cases, and we need to keep it on the books,” Wagoner said.People had mixed opinions on the passing of Senate Bill 5087 online.— Dawn — Stan Keebals
