@byronofnyc: BREAKING 🚨 Gov. Gavin Newsom commuted all California death sentences on Thursday, declaring that “state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with” values in America’s most populous state. In an open letter to constituents, Newsom said taking this step is “among the most difficult of my career.” Newsom said his executive action will impact the “548 people now under death sentence in California,” making for “the largest death row in the Western Hemisphere.” Source: NBC News
