the chief justice of the California Supreme Court has some strong words on how the death penalty is handled in the state.
Ronald George says the state's death penalty has become what he calls "dysfunctional" and he's blaming lawmakers for looking the other way as 650 condemned inmates sit on death row.
A formal death penalty moratorium proposed by some lawmakers failed to get out of an Assembly committee in January. The Legislature's only recent action has been to approve $223 million last year for a new and larger death row with 768 cells.
