ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Gov. Martin O'Malley plans to sign a measure repealing capital punishment in Maryland into law.
Raquel Guillory, a spokeswoman for O'Malley, confirmed on Thursday that O'Malley plans to sign the bill at a bill-signing ceremony on May 2.
Maryland will become the 18th state to ban the death penalty. Connecticut did so last year. Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico and New York also have abolished it in recent years.

Does this now guarantee that no innocent person will be killed? What I would like to know is how is he going to stop a killer from killing his victim?
Oh it's not about that. It's about saving the killer. Oh I get it.
And the victims of homicide? He doesn't care.
He's a good example of a bad governor....

Criminals vote for democrats. Just O'Malley's way of saying 'thank you'.
