Once again the people are screwed over by liberal criminal lovers.
Corzine is an idiot. All this idiot is doing is paying back his "supporters", the criminal defense attorneys who want to keep "recycling" the animals for their own career gains.
I read that 78-18 of voters of NJ supported keeping the death penalty for child and serial killers, plus terrorists. But murderer supporter Corzine emailed a local radio host there and said they were going against the the voters out of "conscience"!
Politicians mostly don't care about that 78-18 margin.

'Megan's Law' killer now sentenced to life
TRENTON, N.J., Dec. 17 (UPI) -- The man whose crime inspired "Megan's Law" saw his death sentence commuted to life in prison without parole as part of New Jersey's new ban on executions.
New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine signed into law a bill that abolishes the death penalty. He signed the bill one day after he commuted the sentences of eight death-row inmates to live in prison without chance of parole, CNN reported.
Among the eight was Jesse Timmendequas, 46, sentenced to death in June 1997 for the rape and killing of 7-year-old Megan Kanka. The 1994 crime inspired "Megan's Law," which requires authorities to notify neighbors when a sex offender moves into an area. Timmendequas had twice been convicted of sex crimes on children before he killed Megan Kanka.
