Jocelyn Williams
retired educator, Los Osos:
“I’ll be voting for ending the death penalty. I don’t believe in it, and the process takes so long and costs so much just to get to that point. Mostly, I just don’t believe in it.”
Elizabeth Saft
psychologist, Davis:
“Yes; it’s uncivilized, it’s contradictory and not part of a compassionate world.”
Simon De Vere White
restaurant owner, Sacramento:
“I voted yes on it (via mail-in ballot). I believe in the death penalty, but I don’t believe the system is currently working.”
Ross Hammond
guitarist, Sacramento:
“I’m undecided on that one. … I’ll have to look at it, though.”
Abe Matsui
student, Davis:
“Yes; I don’t feel humans own the right to decide if (other) humans can live or die.”
Lucy Hammes
retired, Davis:
“I’m in favor of getting rid of the death penalty, for a number of reasons: I don’t think it’s a deterrent, I think innocent people have been put to death and I think it’s very costly.”
