In a New York Times opinion column, Bryan Stevenson, a public interest lawyer and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, calls Gavin Newsom's commutation of all 548 of California's death sentences to life without parole a remarkable act of moral leadership. Stevenson argues the death penalty is a failure marked by wrongful convictions and racial bias, and urges Laura Kelly, Mike DeWine, and Bill Lee to commute death sentences before leaving office.
