California voted for the death penalty. A jury, who heard all the facts of the case, chose death as his penalty. Given California's law and the lack of "errors" presented at trial, the Supreme Court could not overturn the penalty handed out by the jury. There are MANY reasons why the 3-strikes law in California is VERY BAD. But the voters of California have to change their laws. We need to speak up whenever anyone asks our opinions. And we must vote!<br/><br/>Given all that, I wonder if the connection between murder and the death penalty will be made by those who contemplate murder? Will they care? Will they stop?
