Californians voted on Proposition 34, a measure to repeal the state's death penalty and convert all current death sentences to life in prison. Advocates of the measure said it would save the state millions of dollars and reform a very inefficient and unethical system of criminal punishment. But opponents countered that doing so would be a major injustice to the families and friends of victims who have had to go through undue suffering, and are desperately seeking closure. They argued that death row inmates have committed acts so heinous and beyond redemption, that these prisoners deserve to die at the hands of the state. KQED's News Education project explored the differing perspectives of the issue.
