Will Massachusetts bring back the Death Penalty?
Area legislators are predicting Gov. Mitt Romney’s recently proposed death penalty bill will have an uphill battle on Beacon Hill next year. Romney announced Tuesday he plans to file the bill during the upcoming legislative session.
"It makes no sense to me to institute the death penalty in our state. I think it’s completely inappropriate for the state to become an executioner again," Menard (State Senate Majority Whip, D-Fall River) said. "There are so many other things we as state leaders need to focus on next year. The timing of this is very suspect."
