Father of murder victim slams CA Gov. Newsom for giving criminals ‘reprieve’
Fox News
Marc Klaas, father of murder victim Polly Klaas, argued on Sunday that California Gov. Gavin Newsom is giving criminals the “reprieve that they never gave their victims” with his soft-on-crime policies.
While the order is largely symbolic – California has not executed an inmate since 2006 amid legal challenges – it still marked a major victory for opponents of capital punishment given the state’s size and its national political influence. Now, Klaas is speaking out against the governor's moratorium, as Richard Allen Davis, who was convicted of kidnapping and murdering Klass’ 12-year-old daughter Polly nearly three decades ago, remains on death row.More Related News
