THREAD: Our take on #SB1013 #NoSpecialSession @OregonGovBrown made the right choice by not calling a special session to backtrack on reforming the #deathpenalty. We applaud her & thank all legislative leaders and members of the Legislature who opposed a special session. #orpol
A hasty attempt to alter #SB1013 would likely have resulted in more litigation and confusion, not less. Lawmakers had ample opportunity to review, analyze, debate, and vote during the legislative session, and should feel confident in continuing to support the bill. #orpol
Not having read a bill properly is not a valid reason to reopen debate immediately after it passes. What has been clear throughout is that the #deathpenalty is a failed public policy that is not serving Oregonians well. #orpol
The #deathpenalty doesn't provide resolution or serve public safety. We support #SB1013 but it doesn’t go far enough. @OregonGovBrown should commute the sentences of all on death row, ending the harmful uncertainty that is inevitable in the broken death penalty system. #orpol
