About an hour after the rally the news came that a federal judge has blocked the scheduled execution of Albert Brown, saying he needed more time to determine if the state’s new lethal injection procedures are free of pain to the condemned. Then the following day on Wednesday the California Supreme Court also moved to block the execution over the issue of procedure.

There is still a threat of state executions resuming soon as the court rulings are based solely on the procedural methods of execution and not the constitutionality of the death penalty itself.

The legal wrangling over the execution’s procedures is for most death penalty opponents not the main issue. For death penalty opponents the state has no right by any process or procedures to take the life of any one of its citizens. Many at the rally also expressed a moral and faith based opposition to the death penalty. About 30 people took part in Tuesday’s rally.

Does the state attorney general have any effect on the use of the DP?

I just wondering if the AG is bound by law to always seek the DP.

Real nuns wear habits. These ladies pictured are obvious VII fakes.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. These people must pay for their crimes. Soviet Union murdered innocents we don't

the real problem is that this system of corrupt judiciary the actions of the common people, us, is in a full "zero tolerance" while the mass murderers have prime time TV time fawned upon by the paid whores who's faces smile in the unchallenged lime light.
Then there are the political class who have been rail-roaded into cages because of their courage and truth.
We all know it's the terrorism of the state. To protect the criminal class who direct the system.
When judges suppress the actions of honest law and police lie on the stand, we have no real legal system.
It's time to Gandhi the system and bring back common law with informed juries.
