      where did you hear this? that doesn’t match the details of any of the 13 victims of the state of california since it resumed murdering people by death penalty in 1992, and prior to that harris wasn’t a prosecutor, yet.

      she’s a ghoul, to be sure, and defended the constitutionality of the death penalty in california on the grounds that it takes too long to deliver “justice” to victims by murdering people, rather than for any reason that would betray a shred of humanity. but i don’t think this particular story of yours is true.

        Might even mixed up separate incidents, since I can’t find a hint of such an event. There’s a bunch of articles talking about her position of the death penalty, and they all mention the same things two: she promised not to pursue the death penalty as a DA and held to her promise even against a cop killer, but then as attorney general she appealed and won a case that initially ruled California’s death penalty unconstitutional.

      Mod deleted my post to prevent me from living in shame. I’m now confused about it, too. I swear it was a talking point during the 2019 primaries going into the 2020 election. Now whenever I search, I can’t find anything that isn’t from 2024.

      Maybe I’ve been bamboozled (again).
