Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : But California didn't have a sentence of life without parole in the late 1960s and early 1970s, so when the state Supreme Court temporarily invalidated the death penalty in 1972, people on death row at the time were automatically resentenced to life in prison -- with a chance at parole.
41% : In the most egregious instances -- for example, the "special circumstances" that we currently require before seeking a death sentence -- murder should result in the most severe penalty we've got, short of execution or torture.
