Colorado death-penalty vote

By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Colorado House of Representatives has voted -- narrowly -- to repeal the death penalty.  According to this story, the person who cast the last and deciding vote, Rep. Ed Vigil, did so on the basis of "moral appeals he had heard, including from Archbishop Charles Chaput, the senior Roman Catholic clergyman in Colorado."  If this is true -- that is, if Rep. Vigil voted as he did because he was moved by such appeals -- then should we have any concerns (even if we welcome, as I do, the legislative repeal of capital punishment) about his vote?  (No, we should not.  But . . . why not?).
