DEATH PENALTY RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN CONNECTICUT
The state repealed the death penalty back in 2012.
But, that was only for future cases. The 11 men on the death row at the time of the repeal were still scheduled to be executed.
Today, in a 4-3 ruling, the state's Supreme Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional, thereby converting those death penalty sentences into life without parole sentences.
That includes the two pieces of shit ^ who tortured, raped, killed and burned the Petit family.
19 states have abolished the death penalty since it was re-instated at the federal level back in 1976.
