NH Senate committee votes 4-1 in favor of repealing death penalty

“The bill now heads to a vote by the full Senate, where it is expected to pass with a veto-proof majority. The bill, which passed the House in March with a veto-proof majority, would not spare Michael Addison, who was convicted of killing Manchester police Officer Michael Briggs in 2006. Addison is the state's only death-row inmate. New Hampshire has not executed an inmate since 1939.“
