Handel Evans. SJSU's interim president, said it is time to look toward the future. "I'm here for next year," said Evans in a press conference Tuesday. Evans will remain at the helm for one more year. The presidential search is scheduled to resume during the next school year. From out of the ashes of this first search attempt comes a gleam of hope, said Evans, because the presidential search committee will be more cognizant of the concerns of all interested in determining who will be the next university president. "Everybody put their bean and soul into the presidential search), and that is proba- bly the reason why it hurt so much when it failed," Evans said. "I think that all will go into the search with a different attitude," Evans said. Evans sees the need for finding candi- dates who best characterize the institution as a whole, and not just someone who has an answer to one specific problem. Other problems that face Evans and SJSU are the ominous fee hikes and budget cuts. "For anyone who thought that this year was easy, next year is going to be even harder," said Evans. The next president will face even more drastic budget problems in the future. Evans said. "There will he even bigger cuts in the future," said Evans. "If we do not get more money into the system we are looking at fewer classes and students having to spend even more time in school, and there is nothing we can do about it." Evans said the situation looks brighter for the Ford Ord initiative, which would Mareio J. Sanchez - Daily staff photographer convert the military establishment into a new, major state university.

  • Capital Punishment in California
    COMMITTEE ON REVISION OF THE PENAL CODE STAFF M EMORANDUM March 12, 2021 Memorandum 2021-04 Capital Punishment in California I. Introduction Consistent with its mandate to “simplify and rationalize the substance of criminal law,” the Committee on the Revision of the Penal Code undertakes this analysis of the state’s death penalty system to determine if there is a rational path forward that will ensure justice and fairness for all Californians. It is the first examination of the death penalty in California by a state agency or organization since 2008. California has the largest death row in the country, currently numbering 707 people, and has sentenced more than 1,000 people to death since 1977. Yet, no executions have occurred in the last 15 years and only 13 total executions have taken place since reinstatement of the death penalty. Currently, 363 people on death row – more than half – are still awaiting appointment of post-conviction counsel and it now averages more than 30 years for people convicted of capital offenses to exhaust their appeals. Indeed, most people die of natural causes before their appeals are resolved. It is estimated that the state has spent more than $5 billion tax dollars on the death penalty since it was reinstated in 1977. At the same time, a majority of death cases to be fully litigated in California have been reversed on appeal or in other post-conviction proceedings.1 Meanwhile, over the past decade, California voters have (narrowly) signaled support for the death penalty in three separate ballot measures.2 No area of criminal law in California is more deeply confounding politically, legally, and morally.

  • UNITED STATES of AMERICA the Death Penalty in California: the Case of Robert Harris
    EXTERNAL (for general distribution) AI Index: AMR 51/34/92 Distr: SC/CO/DP/GR No. of words: ------------------------- Amnesty International International Secretariat 1 Easton Street London WC1X 8DJ United Kingdom March 1992 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The Death Penalty in California: The case of Robert Harris California enacted its present death penalty statutes in 1977 and 1978. At the beginning of 1992, 318 prisoners were under sentence of death. One prisoner, Robert Alton Harris, has exhausted all available avenues of legal appeals and his execution in San Quentin Prison's gas chamber is feared to be imminent. If carried out, this would be the first execution in California for 25 years. The debate over California's use of the death penalty has been fierce. During his term in office, Governor George Deukmejian, who wrote California's 1977 death penalty law, frequently criticized the state's delay in resuming executions. His successor, Governor Pete Wilson, also strongly supports the death penalty. Over the past months a California television station sued unsuccessfully for the right to film executions in San Quentin prison. ROBERT ALTON HARRIS Robert Alton Harris is likely to become the first person executed in California since 1967, despite the fact that one-half of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judges who voted on the case in December 1991 reportedly thought he should have been granted a full court review to determine whether he was deprived of effective psychiatric assistance at his original trial. According to press accounts, the vote was a tie, 13 to 13, with one judge not participating.

ARTICLES THE "ABUSE EXCUSE" IN CAPITAL SENTENCING TRIALS: IS IT RELEVANT TO RESPONSIBILITY, PUNISHMENT, OR NEITHER? Paul Litton* I. INTRODUCTION During the sentencing phase of a capital trial, it is defense counsel's obligation to humanize their client:1 to have the jurors see not merely a murderer, but a person in whom we see the "diverse frailties of humankind, ' '2 which we recognize in ourselves. Counsel, with the aid of a forensic psychologist or social worker, investigate their client's past, often finding evidence that he suffered extraordinary and continual abuse-even murderous behavior directed towards him from his parents-during his formative years.' Craig Haney, who has compiled the social histories of many capital defendants, provides disturbing examples: [One] defendant was beaten nearly every day of his young life with a switch from a tree or with a belt, was regularly locked in his room, where his parents had removed the handles from the door and installed several locks on the outside of the door and boarded up all the windows.
