Changes to Oregon's Death Penalty Law

 

In their Left and the Law segment, Jan Haaken and Mike Snedeker discuss the recent passage of Oregon Senate Bill 1013, the most important change to the State's capital punishment laws in years.  The new law narrows the definition of aggrivated murder--the only crime where the death penalty may be sought.  Jan and Mike take up the controversy around the new law and whether this narrowing of the death penalty represents a truly progressive change.
