Committee Sends Bill Abolishing Death Penalty to Full Senate

by: Juan Melli

Thu May 10, 2007 at 02:50:39 PM EDT



Jay Lassiter reports that the Senate Judiciary committee just voted 8-2 to send to the full Senate a bill which would abolish the death penalty in New Jersey. The bill sponsored by Senators Ray Lesniak and Shirley Turner would replace the death penalty with life in prison without the possibility of parole. The only two committee members to vote against were Gerald Cardinale and Joseph Kyrillos. Tom Kean Jr did not show up to vote.

More to come soon...

Which bill? (0.00 / 0)
There had been separate bills scheduled for today, one sponsored by Lesniak and one sponsored by Turner? Did they merge them?
S171/2471 (0.00 / 0)
Yes, I believe S171 (Lesniak) and S2471 (Turner) were merged.
