Peter Ueberroth on Crime

2004 former Republican Challenger CA Governor

For death penalty, but people don't want to talk about it

Q: Your comments on capital punishment.

UEBERROTH: I'm in favor of the death penalty. And I think we have to use all science to ensure we do not make any mistakes. But that is not why I'm running for governor. I'm running for governor because we're in terrible shape, a crisis, and that is what the recall is about. Talk to people in the street, talk to small business. They will be not wanting me to talk about the death penalty. They want to talk about how to protect their jobs and businesses.
