What’s the Future of the Death Penalty in California After Newsom’s Clemency?

Gov. Gavin Newsom commuted the sentences of 548 condemned California prisoners, described as the nation's largest act of mass clemency, in a state that has not executed anyone since 2006. District attorneys in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Riverside and Orange counties say they will keep seeking death sentences, while a pending case alleging racial bias could halt them.
