Tiana, your state may smell like a petrochemical plant, but I'm giving you props for this! :)


New Jersey closer to becoming first state to abolish death penalty in 42 years

TRENTON, N.J. – New Jersey took a major step Monday toward becoming the first state to abolish the death penalty in more than 40 years, a change that is expect to become law within a month.

The state Senate approved a measure to replace the death sentence with life without parole, which would spare the life of a sex offender whose crimes sparked Megan's Law. The bill has the support of the Democrat-controlled Assembly and the Democratic governor.

Yeah. I've been reading some of hte Jersey boards and you'd be surprised how many people are against this. I for one am happy and think this is a step in the right direction.
