DA Morgenthau Against Reviving Death Penalty

And the reports from last week's legislative hearing in New York keep coming. This time, it's Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau who denounced the death penalty.

The 84-year-old Morgenthau said the death penalty had no place in "sensible and civilized justice system."

"Instead of trying to amend the existing statute to meet concerns expressed by the court, the Legislature should take this opportunity to reconsider its 1995 decision and do away with the death penalty in New York once and for all."
