PA Gov. Wolf imposes death penalty moratorium in state without the death penalty

Continuing his month-long 'If It's Not Broke, Fix It" agenda, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has ordered a moratorium on executions of death row inmates in a state that hasn't executed anyone since 1999.

From Melissa Daniels of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

Though the state hasn't carried out an execution in 16 years, Pennsylvania's prison system houses 186 death row inmates.

Since the Legislature re- authorized capital punishment in 1978, governors have signed 434 death warrants. Three executions have happened since then.

Heckavu job, Tom.
