Washington Governor Suspends Death Penalty

Gov. Jay Inslee said he came to the decision after months of meetings with law enforcement and family members of victims.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee issued a moratorium Tuesday on the death penalty within his state.

"Eighteen states have abolished the use of the death penalty nationally," said legal expert Michael Brennan. He hoped Inslee's decision would further discussion of the death penalty.

California has more than 600 men waiting on death row, while Washington has nine, he said.
