Death Penalty Repeal Bill Now Preserves the Death Penalty in MD
Maryland Senate Republican Caucus 4:30 PM March 3, 2009:
The Senate is now on the floor. Senator James Brochin (D - BaltimoreCounty) offered an amendment to preserve the death penalty in Maryland butto require that a defendant could be sentenced to the death penalty solelyon the basis of eyewitness testimony.
Prosecutors would be required to present physical evidence in addition to any eyewitness testimony. That amendment passed by vote of 25 - 21.
Additional amendments are being considered - check our website later todayfor a full review of this afternoon's Senate debate.
