Cruz Bustamante on Crime

Democratic Lt. Governor; former Candidate for CA Governor

Death penalty with every opportunity to prove innocence

Q: Your comments on a moratorium on capital punishment.

BUSTAMANTE: I support the death penalty. But I would give every person who is convicted every opportunity to try to prove they're innocence.
