California’s Newsom commutes death sentences for all 548 on death row

California Governor Gavin Newsom has commuted the death sentences of all 548 people on the state’s death row to life in prison. He said the change lets offenders “die in obscurity” while victims are remembered. California has not executed anyone since 2006, and only 13 inmates have been executed since 1978, but experts say the move could still save millions in court costs each year.
