The commission's report is the 1st comprehensive review of the operation of California's death penalty law since its initial enactment in 1978. The Commission conducted 3 public hearings and heard the testimony of 72 witnesses in preparing the report.
Van de Kamp and commission Executive Director Gerald F. Uelmen will participate in a press conference to discuss the contents of the report at 1 p.m. Monday in Room 1190 at the State Capitol in Sacramento.
