Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak says he hopes his failed proposal to clear death row before he leaves office in two weeks starts a needed conversation about capital punishment ahead of the next legislative session
December 20, 2022 at 4:49 pm ESTfailed proposal to clear the state's death row
Sisolak, a Democrat, confirmed last week that he would ask the pardons board at their Tuesday meeting to commute the sentences of the 57 inmates awaiting execution in Nevada to life in prison without parole. But on Monday evening, a Carson City judge ruled that the board could not move forward as planned after finding it had failed to properly notify the families of victims at least 15 days before the meeting, which is required by state law.
Had Sisolak succeeded Tuesday in clearing Nevada's death row, it would have marked the second major victory in a week for advocates of abolishing capital punishment. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown“It is my hope going forward that the discussion can continue to finally bring about a resolution to this issue," Sisolak said.
