Death penalty, gun magazine bills not moving forward in Washington legislature
The move to eliminate the death penalty in Washington state failed to come up for debate or a vote on the House floor Friday, essentially killing the bill.
While the legislative session is scheduled to last until Thursday, March 12, bills had to be voted out of the House and Senate by 5 p.m. Friday.
“One day the death penalty will be repealed. And one day history will look back at our state’s death penalty policy and shake its head in collective sadness,” said bill sponsor Sen. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle.
Rep. Jenny Graham said she thought her personal story helped keep the issue from coming up on the House floor.
