California Committee on Revision of Penal Code Recommends Repeal of Death Penalty

At the conclusion of a virtual meeting on May 14, 2021, the California Committee on Revision of the Penal Code (CRPC) unanimously voted to recommend that the state abolish the death penalty. It was the first ever policy vote on the death penalty by the Committee, which was established by an act of the state legislature in 2019. Committee chair Michael Romano said “[a] full report detailing [the committee’s] recommendations, including supporting analysis and data, will be released later this summer.” The CRPC’s recommendation followed an expansive review of California death-penalty law and policy by the committee’s staff. A CRPC staff memorandum dated May 5, 2021 concluded that “[e]liminating the death penalty is a critical step towards creating a fair and equitable justice system for all in California, as the ultimate punishment is plagued by legal, racial, bureaucratic, financial, geographic, and moral problems that have proven intractable.”

It s time to reform sentencing enhancements

In summary By Peter Espinoza Pete Espinoza, a former judge in Los Angeles Superior Court, is a member of the California Committee on Revision of the Penal Code. Michael Romano, Special to CalMatters Michael Romano, who teaches criminal law and policy at Stanford Law School, is chair of the California Committee on Revision of the Penal Code, mromano@stanford.edu. One of the basic tenets of our criminal justice system is that punishment is supposed to be proportionate to the crime. But in the wave of “tough on crime laws” passed in the 1990s, California turned that longtime legal standard on its head, instead adopting many sentencing enhancements, which add years to a person’s prison term, often doubling it.
