DA Hochman's office needs to investigate whether Newsom followed Marsy's Law and contacted the family members of victims in each of these cases. One relative said she only heard about Newsom's decision when she was coming out of the gym.She was never contacted. This is a violation

Yeah, yeah. Strongly worded letters are nice and all, but we need some action. We voted to reinstate the death penalty a long time ago. We want these fuckers to get their day with death.

Ironically this move will prove to be the death sentence for his presidential aspirations. Nobody is voting for this.

What about deference to the men and women who served on the juries...to the laws that facilitated the end result ... sorry the rule of law would have the result different

Not to mention it's a completely chicken shit move. If it was "moral" today it would have been "moral" on Monday and give the voters a chance to weigh in on what they think of that. Newsom is a total punk.

A 9mm bullet costs 20 to 32 cents a round. Meanwhile, we spend millions of taxpayers’ dollars on keeping criminals fed and a roof over their heads. Like, why are we wasting this money to cater to criminals who deserve capital punishment? It’s simple math!

I feel so sad for the families being the victims again. Demonic asshole he is- soon to be irrelevant and hopefully held on fraud charges.

I voted for this. My brother was killed, we go to trial in January, I pray he gets 60 to life. Its not a death penalty case. – at Bell Canyon, CA

No state should have the death penalty and your office should get the message and stop imposing executions which will never happen

Shocked to see some fortitude coming from you guys. Must be a full moon or something.

Nothing says “I’m not running for President “ like commuting California’s death sentences. I think Gavin realizes he hasn’t a shot

@GavinNewsom has just finished what was already obvious- there is no Death penalty in The state of California. True leadership.

Prosecutors refuse to prosecute many thinly-veiled murders. You all Forced the Governor to do this to uphold equal protection. 🤡

Murder under color of law is just that. Murder. - CA is 5-6% Black, but death row is 33% Black - 8 men were EXONERATED from death row - 70% of inmates on CA death row don't have lawyers
