New Jersey Bans the Death Penalty

New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine signed a bill this week to outlaw the death penalty in his state. The move saves the life of child killer Ambrose Harris. In fact, the bill was signed 15 years to the day when Harris abducted seven-year-old Megan (of Megan's Law fame), raped her, strangled her to death, then raped her dead body and dumped it in a park. Megan's father lobbied to stop the ban, but Democrats ignored his pleas. He said it was a slap in the face of the victims. Republicans tried to preserve the death penalty for cases where cops are killed, children are raped and murdered, or terrorists kill innocents. Democrats refused the compromise and passed the bill along a party line vote. See Chick's THE EXECUTION.
