TL;DR Summary

A California judge will consider recalling the death sentence of Richard Allen Davis, who was convicted in 1996 for the 1993 kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas.

The Sonoma County District Attorney's Office opposes the recall, stating the cited laws do not apply to Davis' case.
