DEATH ROW: Central Valley Inmates Affected As Newsom Commutes Death Sentences

 

Gavin Newsom's sweeping clemency action converts all 548 California death sentences to life without parole, including 33 inmates from the Central Valley. Supporters call it a landmark step away from capital punishment, while critics argue it overrides jury decisions and reopens wounds for victims' families. 

After nearly two decades of planning and debate, the Fresno City Council voted 6-1 to indefinitely table the Southeast Development Area. The proposal would have transformed about 9,000 acres of southeast Fresno and eventually accommodated up to 45,000 homes, but concerns about growth, farmland, infrastructure, and political opposition ultimately stopped the project, at least in its current form.
