Los Angeles County's new district attorney decided to forgo the death penalty and seek life sentences in some murder cases in which foreigners have fled to countries that refuse extradition in death penalty cases. District Attorney Steve Cooley's new policy is aimed at spurring extraditions and ending stalemates that have seen some suspects, wanted for murders in California, remain at large in Mexico and other countries that refuse to subject their citizens to capital punishment.
