Death penalty repeal clears a key test vote in Senate

The Baltimore Sun - March, 1 2013

The Senate paused its debate of a bill that would make Maryland the 18th state in the nation to eliminate the death penalty after advocates of repeal won a key test vote.

Senators voted 27-19 Friday to reject an amendment that would have created an exception to repeal for especially heinous murders.

Supporters of death penalty repeal expressed confidence that they have enough votes to defeat all the other amendments expected to be offered when the Senate resumes debate Monday. And they expressed confidence they will prevail on the final Senate vote.
