California Governor Gavin Newsom is reportedly considering commuting the death sentences of all 563 prisoners on the state's death row, with discussions intensifying following a botched execution in Tennessee. The move would mark a major policy reversal in the nation's largest death row, though no final decision has been announced. This development signals a potential shift in state-level capital punishment policy, with implications for criminal justice reform debates.
