Move to repeal Utah’s death penalty fails on Capitol Hill
After hours of discussion, bill HB 147 to repeal Utah’s death penalty fails to pass through the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee 6 to 5.
Before the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee meeting even began, lawmakers knew would face a lot of opposition.
