A Western Maryland woman whose parents were killed by a man on death row said she urged Gov. Martin O'Malley in a phone conversation Monday afternoon not to commute the man's sentence.
The conversation came days after The Baltimore Sun reported that O'Malley had reached out to two relatives of people killed by men on death row — moves that fueled speculation that, with two months left in office, the governor may be poised to take action on the death penalty cases.
Mary Francis Moore, 71, whose father and his wife were killed in 1995 by Heath William Burch, said O'Malley did not say what his plans were. They discussed what might happen to Burch in light of another inmate's appeal. Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler has joined the appeal, arguing Maryland no longer has the authority to execute anyone.

ReplyDeleteThis guy is a joke. He waited until after election to even deal with this. They were given the death penalty, they should get the death penalty. Just because MD is full of pu$$ies, and did away with it, it shouldn't be retroactive. FFS, every single public sector money taker I have known, have zero common sense and horrible work ethics. The good ones know to stay away.
doing away with the death penalty is just plain STUPID like most liberals.
