Families react to Newsom's decision to commute death sentences in California

Palo Alto Online reported that families of victims in California are expressing deep anguish and indignation following Governor Newsom's decision to commute all death sentences in the state.

These families have endured years, sometimes decades, of legal appeals and hearings, holding onto the promise that justice would be served through execution.

The decision has caused what one source described as 'un dolor desgarrador,' or heartbreaking pain, among those who lost loved ones to murder.

The families feel that the commutation undermines the justice they were promised and are voicing their frustration publicly.
