podox*. oomunuoj REGULAR CALENDAR April 17, 2018 The Majority of the Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety to which was referred SB 593-FN, AN ACT relative to the penalty for capital murder. Having considered the same, report the same with the recommendation that the bill OUGHT TO PASS. THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMITTEE Original: House Clerk Cc: Committee Bill File MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT Committee: Criminal Justice and Public Safety Bill Number SB 593-FN Title: relative to the penalty for capital murder. Date: April 17, Consent Calendar: REGULAR Recommendation: OUGHT TO PASS STATEMENT OF INTENT This bill was the subject of a long and at times moving public hearing that included testimony from dozens of citizens who were overwhelmingly in support of repealing the death penalty. Among the witnesses supporting the bill were leaders of the faith community, former prosecutors, police and corrections officers and people who had lost members of their immediate families to murder. This bill is supported by an incredibly diverse group of lawmakers. The majority of the committee concludes that as a matter of public policy the death does not work and is a distraction from addressing important criminal justice issues and should be repealed. The death penalty does not protect public safety, it does not shield our police officers, it does not meet the needs of many families of murder victims, it is not consistent with the values we hear from 'our religious leaders, mistakes are made, and it costs the state more money than the alternative: a process that states simply that those who commit first degree murder will spend the rest of their lives in prison with no chance for parole. New Hampshire has not executed anyone since 1939. The majority of nations of the world recognize the death penalty is not a criminal justice sanction but a human rights violation. Over the last decade a half dozen states have repealed the death penalty. Passage of this bill is consistent with New Hampshire's long tradition of respect for human rights. It is time to repeal the death penalty. Vote 12-6. Rep.

REGULAR CALENDAR April 17, 2018 REPORT OF COMMITTEE The Minority of the Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety to which was referred SB 593-FN, AN ACT relative to the penalty for capital murder. Having considered the same, and being unable to agree with the Majority, report with the following resolution: RESOLVED, that it is INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE. p. Frank Sapa.reto FOR THE MINORITY OF THE COMMITTEE Original: House Clerk Cc: Committee Bill File MINORITY COMMITTEE REPORT Committee: Criminal Justice and Public Safety Bill Number SS 593-FN Title: relative to the penalty for capital murder. Date: April ss17 2018 Consent Calendar: REGULAR Recommendation.. INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE STATEMENT OF INTENT The minority of the committee believes that a repeal of the death penalty will result in the loss of innocent lives. When a proven and convicted killer repeatedly states that they will kill again, whether its 5, 10, 25, or 50 years, they will kill again. Whether it's another inmate or a prison guard. The minority does not want to be responsible for the loss of innocent life and therefore respectfully disagrees with the majority. The minority refuses to let a killer kill again. Rep.
