Hope NH doesn't follow NE in re-instating death penalty

New Hampshire became the 21st state to abolish the death penalty May 30, when the legislature overturned Gov. Chris Sununu's veto of their earlier bill to kill death as punishment in the 'Live Free or Die' state. NH would have been the 22nd state to become civilized regarding criminal punishment following original 21st abolition state Nebraska. In 2015, the Nebraska legislature also overturned a gubernatorial veto of its abolition bill. But the rich governor and his rich daddy ponied up $300,000 to fund a referendum campaign to get death reinstatement on the November, 2016 ballot. It passed, putting Nebraska back in the dark ages of criminal justice. And the rich governor and his rich daddy who spearheaded the return of state sponsored murder to the Cornhusker State? Pete Ricketts and papa Joe Ricketts of Cubs family fame. Let's hope there is not an equivalent Ricketts family in NH lusting to spend their fortune to put humans to death. One is enough.
