Newsom moves to commute all California death sentences
New York Times
What the coverage says
California Governor Gavin Newsom has commuted the sentences of every prisoner awaiting execution in the state. NBC News noted that the announcement came on Thursday, while the New York Times specified that the action applies to 548 inmates. According to the Times, this group accounts for roughly a quarter of all death sentences in the country. Newsom described the practice as morally objectionable, with NBC News adding that he declared "state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with" the values of the nation's most populous state.
