RALEIGH, N.C. -
The General Assembly sent the Racial Justice Act to the Governor Wednesday night.
If signed into law the bill would allow a judge to rule out capital punishment, in a murder case, if the judge believes race was a basis for seeking the death penalty.
Some district attorneys, sheriffs and victims advocates have spoken out against the measure saying it would make death penalty cases too difficult to prosecute. North Carolina would be only the second state to have such a law. Kentucky was the first.
