Repealing death penalty soon?

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The page on the Chuck e cheese murder says: "On November 6, 2018, Colorado Governor Jared Polis was elected.[12] During the campaign, Polis said he intends to sign a bill repealing the death penalty in Colorado" Is this happening? Can a Governor do this alone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.89.209.96 (talk) 19:23, 30 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

The answer to your question is both "yes and no". Yes, a Governor can sign a bill repealing the death penalty in Colorado. However ... no, he cannot "do it alone". The bill itself, by definition, must come from the state's legislators. Once the legislators approve of a bill, they then send it over to the Governor for his signature. If he does sign the bill, it then becomes law. So -- again -- yes, the Governor can sign the bill ... but, no, he is not making the decision all alone. He must rely on receiving a bill from the legislators for him to subsequently sign. And -- by the way -- this all did indeed happen on March 23, 2020. The legislators passed a bill repealing the state's death penalty; Governor Polis signed the bill into law. The bill (and law) only referred to criminals convicted of crimes after July 1, 2020. So, the three prisoners who were on Death Row when the new law was passed were not affected by the new law. However, Governor Polis chose to commute the death sentences of all three inmates (then on Death Row) to life in prison without parole. So, Colorado has no death penalty ... either for future inmates for future crimes ... or for those who had been already sitting on Death Row for past crimes. Joseph A.
