New Britain Legislator Files Anti-death Penalty Bill
By SUSAN HAIGH
Published on 1/8/2005

Hartford — A bill has been filed in the state legislature that would eliminate Connecticut's death penalty and possibly block the looming execution of serial killer Michael Ross.

Rep. Peter Tercyak, D-New Britain, submitted the legislation, but it's questionable whether the bill will be passed before Ross' scheduled Jan. 26 execution.

House Democratic leaders plan to survey their members beginning Monday to determine how many want to proceed with a debate. <snip>

1. Good Job Pete!
Good show!

Not to mention hes a Pole from New Britain. Making a big push on something like this might put him on a path to running against Johnson. *ponders*
