Senate President Don Williams said today that the Senate may have enough votes to pass a bill that would abolish the death penalty.
The House of Representatives passed the bill last week. If the Senate passes the bill, it will go to the governor, who supports the death penalty.
Williams said he would run the death penalty bill if he gets 19 people to vote in favor of it. He said he does not have a firm count today, but will have one soon.

As far as I am concerned there are far too many new things that should be addressed rather than pulling apart old issues. I am in favor of the death penalty. We do not have enough room for these vicious killers in our facilities and too often they are let loose in society. They should not sit on death row for years.They are costing us too much money. When sentenced they should be set to death right away. Start working on the issues that have to changed now.
