Colorado Death Penalty May Fall

The Colorado legislature is barely half over and Colorado Democrats are rushing their aggressive agenda.  Civil unions and guns are mostly done. Anxious to use the momentum, civil libertarians are positioning abolition of the death penalty for consideration.

Although public opinion still supports the death penalty, citizens are conflicted on the issue. They are concerned about its fair application and frequent reports of exonerations and mistaken executions.

It represents another issue for moderate Democrats (there are very few) and Gov. Hickenlooper to navigate.
