Death Penalty Abolished in NJ

By a vote of 44-36 the death penalty abolition bill passed the assembly. (Note that Bramnick and Munoz both voted against it. Kean also voted against it earlier in the week. I have asked for their reasons, we shall see if they respond.)

Now it is just awaiting the governor's signature before it can become law. Corzine has already said that he will sign it in the next couple of days.

Congratulations to Celeste, Abe, Lorry and the entire team at NJADP.
