Rendell Calls for End of Pennsylvania Death Penalty

With just four days left as governor, Ed Rendell has asked the Pennsylvania Legislature to take a look at the state's ineffective death penalty law.

Rendell has signed 119 death warrants since 2002, but not a single person has been executed in Pennsylvania during his tenure as governor.

If the Legislature can't fix the law, Rendell suggests eliminating it entirely.
