In light of Governor Josh Shapiro vowing not to issue any execution warrants during his term, Representative Chris Rabb says he’ll also try again to repeal the death penalty. The Philadelphia Democrat has tried three times since he’s been in office to get such a bill passed. Should Pennsylvania enact Rabb’s measure, the state would join nearly two dozen others that have abolished the death penalty. In Pennsylvania, the number of new death penalty sentences reportedly has steadily declined over the last 30 years.
