Quick Glance: Oregon Governor commutes all 17 death sentences in the state
  • Oregon's governor has announced that she will commute the sentences of the state's 17 death row convicts.

  • According to NBC News, Kate Brown stated that their execution sentences would be commuted to life in prison without the chance of release, most likely invoking her executive clemency powers for the final time as governor.

  • "Instead, it reflects the recognition that the death penalty is immoral"

  • She stated that the commutations were compatible with a moratorium on the death penalty instituted by Democratic Governor John Kitzhaber in 2011.
