The man convicted of killing Polly Klaas lost his bid to have his death sentenced vacated on Friday.
A California judge on Friday rejected a request by the man convicted of killing Polly Klaas to vacate a death sentence imposed on him. Santa Clara County Judge Benjamin Williams declined to 'vacate the jury verdict' in the sentencing of Richard Allen Davis. Davis was convicted in 1996 for the 1993 killing of Klaas, 12, after kidnapping her from her bedroom at knifepoint in a San Francisco suburb.
In 2019, Newsom placed a moratorium on executions, calling the death penalty 'a failure' that has discriminated against defendants who are mentally ill, Black and brown, or can’t afford expensive legal representation.' A future governor could change that policy. The Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office said that Davis’ attorneys’ arguments are 'nonsensical,' and that the laws they are citing don’t apply to his death sentence for Klaas’ murder.
The case was a major driver of California's 'three strike law,' which requires prison sentences for repeat offenders. California last executed someone in 2006. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
