That does not mean that, as And let me point out to you, who are these people?

Mr. President, this is it indicated that by doing an accelerated death penalty it will is not even about Governor Casey. It is not about Acting deter, is the heart ofthat deterrence or to deter future behavior Governor Singel. What it is about is establishing a system in in this area, violent crime, violent homicide, the heart matter? Pennsylvania where the people of this Commonwealth can Senator FISHER Mr. President, I think, as I understand the have some confidence in the fact that the laws that are on the question, the question is whether or not I believe that carrying books are going to be carned out and that they are going to be out Pennsylvania's death penalty will be a deterrent. carned out by the Chief Executive of this Commonwealth in Senator WILLIAMS. Mr. President, that is incorrect. a timely fashion. Mr. President, that is all I am asking for. Senator FISHER Okay. That is all the people of this Commonwealth are asking for, Senator WILLIAMS. Mr. President, my question is, from simple justice. We are asking for simple justice at a time when the remarks that were made, is the heart of that argument to crime is the number one issue on the minds of the people of indicate that this accelerated death penalty would deter future this Commonwealth and, in fact, the number one issue on the 1994 LEGISLATIVE JOURNAL - SENATE 2575

behavior of a homicidal or violent nature, not what you gone out across the Commonwealth. Many people do not think believe, but what your argument was at the heart of that? we have a death penalty, whether it be somebody who is into Senator FISHER Mr. President, the answer to that question a life ofcrime or a law-abiding citizen who believes we should is yes. have one. Until the death penalty is carried out in this State, Senator WILLIAMS. Mr. President, I want one further law breakers and law-abiding citizens will not believe it is question, and that is, from the remarks that were made, it really there and it is ever going to work. seems to suggest that the Governor somehow was causing a Senator WILLIAMS. Mr. President, I rise to oppose the problem that would be corrected by the accelerated movement motion here. As I understand it, this governor signed more here on the death penalty, and did I hear the suggestion of death warrants, 16, than all four ofthe last governors. I do not that? know what that means except that we may be in another time Senator FISHER Mr. President, I am not sure I heard the period, but it seems to me that to say that this governor has gentleman's question. signed more than all four governors, it seems to me that he is Senator WILLIAMS. Mr. President, I am sorry, I will repeat not at fault for the problem. I do not like to debate deterrence that to be clear. because that is a soft quality. It is a good political thing to say Some of the remarks, a lot of the remarks seem to describe on either side, but through all the analysis that I have ever a condition and also seem to suggest that the Governor was to seen, there really is not much connection with the violent blame for this problem of failure to execute, and that there is homicidal behavior of our citizens and how, quote, unquote, a problem here and the Governor's hand is at fault. Is that hard or tough we have been in regard to the punishment. Some what the gentleman said? people argue, well, give us a death penalty and that will stop Senator FISHER Mr. President, that is correct. I think that this behavior. Now we are sitting here in 1994 echoing once at this stage as we looked over the records, and I can go over again this is a solution. Let us kill them faster and that will all 76 of them, the period of time that has elapsed from the solve the behavior. return of the record to the Governor by the Pennsylvania Well, I do not argue one way or the other about that Supreme Court, whether or not you want to use the word because I really sort of agree with you that ifyou are going to "blame," it is clearly the Governor's inaction in not signing the do something, you want to make it certain and somewhat warrants which has prevented justice from being carried out in timely. I agree with that. On the other hand, it is obvious on these cases. the face of it that all these years most of us who give those Senator WILLIAMS. Mr. President, I would take it if we simplistic solutions get elected, but the public never is served would just force the Governor to accelerate the death in these because it does not solve the behavior. And I guess I am one instances, then you feel that the problem would be pretty much of those people who would say, well, if these folks who talk under control, the problem being violent crime and murder and about that and who get elected would somehow say, well, that sort of thing? okay, we are going to make sure we understand and address Senator FISHER Well, Mr. President, I guess really what the behavior, whatever the reason is for that, and protect our I am saying is I am trying to answer the Governor's citizens, I would say that is a good deal. I never hear that. You objections. In his brief that he filed with the Commonwealth never hear the politician or the statesman say we have studied Court on the Morganelli case, he says to the Commonwealth the behavior, just like we studied the timefiame, 30 days, 60 Court, you cannot force me to act because the legislature has days, what have you. And I do not care what the reason is for not given a specific time period. I do not want to comment on the behavior; we ought to know in order to protect our citizens whether or not I agree or disagree with the Commonwealth from that behavior. Equip ourselves with some weapons to do Court on that decision. They made their decision. But what I that. We never take that responsibility. It is an empty gesture. believe is appropriate, what I believe is appropriate as one of We will kill them in 30 days. In my judgment, that is fakery. those people who helped to write Pennsylvania's death penalty We promise them nothing. Now, that is on that score. But we law 16 years ago is that, based on history, we made a mistake also do that in the face of awesome problems that make what without putting a time period in and without saying that within we want impossible. a specific period oftime a governor, no matter who it is, must Now, I am not the best constitutional lawyer here.

Mr. President, one final question. Do constitutional lawyer sitting in this seat, and sometimes I I understand that the gentleman is saying that if 16 years ago influence those around me. So I know a little bit about that, the accelerated provision was in there that we would not have and there is a problem here, a problem that I predict will a problem in homicides, in violent crime, is that what the eventually vitiate the very objective that is spoken for. And gentleman is saying? Would it have been corrected if we had once again, it will be an empty symbol. I am concerned about acted that way 16 years ago? the fact that we can do that. The Constitution here places that Senator FISHER. Mr. President, I believe the death penalty power in the hands of the governor.

Obviously a young man misdirected, Mr. President, that when we went into caucus today that the but has values, heard that. overriding issue that we would be discussing here this And I say that to say where is the competition for all the afternoon would be the veto override ofHouse Bill No. 2198, things that we cry about? We talk about the people who die a consideration that was given in this Chamber on June 14, and the victims of crime. When do we ever do anything about several weeks before we adjourned for the summer, and was it? There is an article here about Texas, which is, I guess you defeated on a vote of 32 voting in favor of overriding the say, the capital for speed in which they execute people. Yet, Governor's veto and 18 voting against overriding the from 1982 to 1991, the national crime rate rose 5 percent. In Governor's veto. the same period, the Texas crime rate rose 24 percent, and Mr. President, a lot of things have taken place since then, violent crime rose by nearly 46 percent. notwithstanding what has happened in this body with regard to Texas is a good example of how much it costs, and they do an impeachment. But the one thing I have been able to just what we say real, real good. It is stated that the death experience personally, and that is the way the agenda of the penalty is precisely one of those quick fixes that drain the Republican Party in this Senate has been advanced by this taxpayer's money. A 1992 study by the Dallas Morning News issue. If you look, Mr. President, at the things that have been reported that each death penalty case followed through to the said on the floor here this afternoon, ifyou follow through on Federal appeal costs about $2.3 million per case, and that is in the discussion that was started by the gentleman from line with costs other States have projected. Florida calculated Philadelphia, Senator Marks, when he talked about the the cost ofeach execution to be about $3.2 million. With over gentleman from Allegheny, Senator Fisher, coming into his 70 executions since 1976 and close to 400 other people waiting district to look at a problem with crime and that Senator on death row, Texas has likely spent several hundred million Jubelirer came into Senator Marks' district to look at a dollars on the death penalty, far more than it would have if problem about crack houses. Now, Senator Fisher did not say there were no death penalty and people were sentenced to life that he was in his own district looking at the problem or imprisonment. Senator Jubelirer did not say that he was in his own district The point is, Mr. President, it is apparent, patent, and looking at the problem. For some reason they were in the obvious that the measure here to accelerate an imperfect Second Senatorial District in Philadelphia looking at the system will probably cost the taxpayer a lot more money. And problem of crime on the streets. that is why I said it was the tax-and-spend theory and 2578 LEGISLATIVE JOURNAL - SENATE SEPTEMBER 19,

Mr. President, I can only think that that had to be politically favor of the override; Senator Heckler spoke vel}' strongly motivated. Why else would the President pro tempore of the from his vantage point in his previous employ of overriding Senate and why else would the Majority Whip ofthe Senate be the veto. Senator Greenleaf spoke very strongly in overriding in the district of a gentleman who is standing for reelection the veto, Mr. President, as the chairman of the Committee on talking about the problems ofthe death penalty, talking about Judiciaty, as did others, Senator Bell included.

Perception is what politics is all about, Mr. President, if you look at the things that have taken and the perception of the issue today being advanced once place, if you analyze the volatility ofthe political issue, if you again by the gentleman from Allegheny, Senator Fisher, is an read polls that say that the number two issue in Pennsylvania issue based strictly on political considerations. Because when is crime on the streets, and if you look at the way the you look at the facts and when you look at the history, Mr. Republican Party is trying every way they can to hold on to President, the things that Senator Fisher and others have talked the Majority in the Senate and to elect a Republican Governor, about merely have to deal with only that, political discussion do you understand why we are here today to ask for an with regard to perception. override ofthe Governor's veto for the purpose ofdeveloping Now, Mr. President, when we discussed the issue back on the 3O-second sound bite that will either appear on radio or June 4, Governor Casey had signed 16 death warrants, more will appear on TV or in the case of some of us in the Senate death warrants than the four previous governors. Since then, on will appear in the newspaper, because I have seen the political June 16, Governor Casey signed a death warrant for Benjamin machinel}' and the propaganda of the Republicans in the Teny, who killed a Graterford Prison guard in Montgomel}' Senate put out an article against me that said, "Mellow Voted County.

Mellow voted for the death penalty. Mellow voted August 19, one month ago, Governor Casey signed a death against a poorly conceived method of trying to override the warrant for Robert Lark from Philadelphia, which brings the Governor's veto when I think it is important that we have the total of death warrants that he has signed to 19.

Mr. President, in the fall of 1993, when the Chair had the Mr. President, there are no time requirements, and we have opportunity ofserving as the Acting Governor ofPennsylvania, discussed this before, there are no time requirements that are there was one death warrant that was brought in front of him, placed on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court before they can a man by the name of Frederic Jermain.

Just what are we trying to determine here, Mr. President? individuals who voted for final passage for House Bill No. Once again, are we trying to determine what is good politically 2198 when we voted on that final passage back in the spring. or what is good in the government of Pennsylvania? Perhaps I was moved by the feeling ofthe day in thinking that Now, Mr. President, if you go back in the Legislative that particular issue may have some impact on crime on the Journal, and I do not want to bore people with the things that streets. were discussed back on that particular day, but if you look at Once again, Mr. President, I realize that to vote for override the legislative record on July 14, you will find that a number of the veto is a vote for a very positive issue perceptually. It of Members spoke very positively in favor of overriding the is a vote for something so that people can say, I am tough on veto. Senator Fisher, being the first gentleman who spoke in crime because I mandated that the Governor of Pennsylvania, 1994 LEGISLATIVE JOURNAL - SENATE 2579 although no other institution in Pennsylvania must come under death penalty imposed. Plainly, our juries do not take the death a time requirement, but the Governor of Pennsylvania must penalty lightly. We have a system which is hemmed-in by within 60 days after which he has a certification from the protections so that never is a guilty person incarcerated, or if prothonotary, he must sign a death warrant. they are, it is set right, that never is the ultimate penalty Mr. President, I do not think it is right, I do not think it is imposed upon one whose guilt has not been fully established something that should be done.

ADJOURNMENT

The PRESIDENT. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Delaware, Senator Loeper. Senator LOEPER Mr, President, I now move­ Senator LINCOLN. Mr. President. The PRESIDENT. For what purpose does the gentleman from Fayette, Senator Lincoln, rise? Senator LINCOLN. Mr. President, I anticipate this being the adjournment resolution. The PRESIDENT. The gentleman is correct. Senator LINCOLN. Mr. President, I would ask that the gentleman be very clear about the starting time tomorrow because I anticipate it is going to be different, and I am not certain, because nobody has told me, but if the gentleman would make a very clear statement that we are going to work at whatever time we adjourn to tomorrow. The PRESIDENT. The Chair thanks the gentleman. I am sure that the gentleman from Delaware, Senator Loeper, will be consistently precise. Senator LOEPER Mr. President, this year we always come to work. Mr. President, I move that the Senate do now adjourn until Tuesday, September 20, 1994, at 11 a.m. The Senate will convene tomorrow at II a.m. and begin with some impeachment motions that we have to deal with. Senator LINCOLN. Mr. President, on the adjournment motion, Senator Loeper interjected that this year they come to work on time. Well, in 1992 they did not, so every other year we kind of show up on time, I guess. The PRESIDENT. The Chair chooses to let those remarks pass. There is a motion before the body to adjourn until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. The motion was agreed to. The Senate adjourned at 7:20 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time.
