"Convicted Killer of Polly Klaas Seeks Death Sentence Overturn"

Richard Allen Davis, convicted in Polly Klaas' 1993 kidnapping and murder, seeks to overturn his death sentence under California Gov. Newsom's moratorium on the death penalty, prompting Polly's father to warn of potential consequences for victims' families. The case gained national attention as the first high-profile missing persons case to circulate on the internet in 1993. Governor Newsom's office defended the moratorium, citing concerns about discrimination, cost, and irreversible errors in the death penalty system.
