Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro said Thursday he will not allow Pennsylvania to execute any inmates while he is in office and called for the state's lawmakers to repeal the death penalty.
Shapiro went further, asking lawmakers to repeal the death penalty and calling it fallible and irreversible. Twenty-seven states allow the death penalty, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Wolf had said he would continue the reprieves until lawmakers addressed inequities in the use of the death penalty, but lawmakers never did and Wolf's reprieves remain in effect.
