Attorney General Pamela Bondi has announced that the Justice Department has proposed a rule that will empower states to streamline federal habeas review of capital punishment cases. These reforms will reduce by years the period between conviction and execution in state capital cases.
"This proposed rule will help states achieve the promise of swift and effective justice for victims of capital crimes," said Pamela Bondi. "We are fulfilling the Department of Justice's commitment to restoring the death penalty as the ultimate punishment for the worst criminals in America."
