Three months after
a man was sentenced to die for killing a police officer – New Hampshire’s first
death sentence in 50 years – the House has voted to repeal capital punishment.
The New Hampshire House will vote this week
whether to repeal the death penalty – just three months after the first death
sentence in the state was handed down in 50 years.
A New Hampshire lawmaker hopes more colleagues will join his fight
against the death penalty now that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson repealed
capital punishment in that state.
