For 3 consecutive years, a bills to impose a moratorium on the death penalty in Mississippi have died in a House committee
For 3 consecutive years, a bills to impose a moratorium on the death penalty in Mississippi have died in a House committee.
The latest such bill introduced by Rep. John Mayo, D-Clarksdale, died when the House Judiciary B Committee failed to pass it by a Tuesday deadline.
Not in opposition to the death penalty, the bill would simply have forced a study of inconsistent application of the death penalty across the state, Mayo said.
