Nevada lawmakers have given final approval to death penalty reforms that prohibit use of a 3-judge judge panel in deciding whether the state should execute convicted murderers. AB13, headed to the governor for his signature, requires judges in case of a hung jury to decide whether to impanel a new jury or impose a no-parole life prison sentence. The Assembly concurred with Senate amendments. Sentences are now handed down by a panel of 3 judges when a jury can't decide on a penalty - but that was deemed unconstitutional by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
