Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
D.A. won't pursue death in cop slaying / Harris fulfills campaign pledge with decision
April 14, 2004
San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris said Tuesday she will not seek the death penalty against a man accused of killing a San Francisco police officer over the weekend, a decision that legal experts say is rare if not unprecedented in California.
Instead, Harris said she will charge David Hill, 21, with crimes that could send him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Hill is suspected of killing Officer Isaac Espinoza, 29, with an assault weapon and wounding his partner, Officer Barry Parker, 38.

Harris pledged during her campaign in the previous year that she would not seek capital punishment.
End the death penalty.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
