A committee of Utah lawmakers unanimously approved a bill and a joint resolution that aims to speed up the death penalty appeals process.
"The average time between sentencing and execution in The United States for capital felony cases is 22 years, but in Utah it is 34 years," said bill sponsor Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman. "These prolonged timelines really increase the financial burden on taxpayers and the emotional toll on victims' families."
Pierucci's bill met a flurry of opposition from several lawyers in this week's committee hearing, including multiple attorneys who've represented death row inmates in Utah.
