Death penalty restrictions considered LINCOLN, NE (NET Radio) - A proposed repeal of the death penalty failed to advance by only one vote last week.

The new proposal would say the death penalty could not be imposed unless a court found that someone poses a present and substantial risk to the lives of others that cannot reasonably and effectively be controlled by imprisonment. © Copyright 2021, NET Radio
