U.S. Democrat Jamryong commutes the sentences of all death row inmates... Bereaved family: “I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the back”

When California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that he would commute the sentences of all 548 death row inmates to life without parole, families of crime victims are protesting.

On the 7th (local time), CNN relayed the voices of those who lost family and friends at the hands of these criminals, saying they are suffering after Governor Newsom's decision to commute the sentences of death row inmates was recently announced.

The most famous death row inmate eligible for this commutation is Richard Allen Davis, who kidnapped and murdered 12-year-old girl Polly Claes from her home in 1993. When it was confirmed that Davis, who was released on bail at the time, had committed a crime, a 'three strikes and out' law was created in California that could sentence repeat offenders to life in prison.

When Polly's father, Mark Klass, heard the news of this reduced sentence, he said, "I felt like I was stabbed in the back," and expressed his anger, "When Davis was sentenced to death, the prosecutor said, 'You can trust California's criminal system,' but this system could be overturned on a whim."

Mark Claes pointed out that Governor Newsom did not even inform the bereaved family, including himself, of the plan to commute the sentence in advance.

Shintara Fuller, who lost her 8-year-old brother Michael Lyons at the hands of a violent criminal in 1996, also criticized the decision to reduce the sentence.

He said, “The governor gathered together the worst of the worst monsters, the worst criminals in California, and sentenced them all to life in prison without parole,” and added, “It is difficult to accept that he dealt with them as a whole without reviewing each case.”

Fox News revealed the names and criminal facts of 10 felons who may be eligible for this commutation.

Among them are the so-called 'Alphabet Killer' Joseph Nasso, who selected and murdered four women with the same initials as himself, Carrie Stayner, who serially murdered four people near Yosemite National Park, Chase Turner, who sexually assaulted and murdered at least 14 women in the southern area of ​​Los Angeles, and Randy Kraft, the 'Scorecard Killer' who tortured and murdered over 60 hitchhikers.

Although they are not eligible for parole, the families and friends of crime victims said it is painful just to be spared.

Sacramento County Sheriff Chris Guerrero, who personally witnessed the murder of fellow police officer Danny Oliver in 2014, bitterly told CNN, "Danny is buried, but (the death row inmate who shot him) will live out the rest of his life."

Governor Newsom, who is considered one of the Democratic Party's next presidential hopefuls, made this decision on the 5th with only two months left in his term.

If this measure is implemented with the approval of the state Supreme Court, the total number of death row inmates in the United States is expected to decrease by more than a quarter.
