 A bill which is permanently banning capital punishment in Delaware fell three votes shy of approval in the statehouse on Sunday. Last week, lawmakers approved legislation which repealed the death penalty in Delaware, but House Bill 301 would have made it against the state constitution. The bill's rep, the bill's sponsor, I should say, Representative Sherry Dorsey Walker, who called the death penalty cruel, unjust, and racially biased, saying she hopes lawmakers revisit the issue in the future.
