USA - Mississippi. Gov. Phil Bryant signed Senate Bill 2223 that adds terrorism to death penalty law

Gov. Phil Bryant signed Senate Bill 2223 that adds terrorism to death penalty law. It takes effect July 1. Mississippi prosecutors already can pursue the death penalty if a victim is killed while certain other felonies are committed - crimes such as rape or armed robbery. The new law adds terrorism to the list. The definition of terrorism in the bill mirrors federal law.
