California killers Clarence Ray Allen, Richard Allen Davis, Richard Ramirez, Scott Peterson<\/p><\/div>\n

S<\/span>acramento County District Attorney Jan Scully<\/a>, a statewide Co-Chair of Californians for Justice and Public Safety<\/a> \u2013 No on 34 \u2013 today issued the following statement following the decision by Sacramento Superior Court Justice Timothy Frawley to change false and misleading statements made by Proposition 34 proponents in official ballot arguments as part of their campaign to eliminate California\u2019s death penalty.\u00a0 Nearly every major public safety organization<\/a> in the state opposes Prop 34 because it will embolden criminals and endanger California.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate Judge Frawley’s thoughtful decision, which upholds our position that the Proponents of Prop 34 are waging a deceptive campaign in an effort to eliminate the Death Penalty.<\/p>\n

Convincing a Judge to change ballot statements is an extraordinary action. \u00a0Judge Frawley agreed with us that Prop 34 proponents’ attempt to suggest that the measure’s $100 million appropriation was a result of alleged savings is false. \u00a0He rightly acknowledged that, if Prop 34 passes, $100 million will be taken from the State General fund, regardless of whether or not any money is actually saved. There were other assertions by the proponents in their ballot arguments that the judge labeled as \u2018hyperbole\u201d or \u201copinion\u2019.\u00a0 Translation – their assertions are exaggerated claims or opinions.<\/p>\n

California voters deserve better. Consumers must get accurate and honest disclosure of what is contained in the products they buy, or District Attorneys can prosecute the manufacturers for consumer fraud.\u00a0\u00a0 Said another way, they can be prosecuted for false advertising and unfair business practices.<\/p>\n

Sadly, there are no standards for honesty and accuracy for special interests and political campaigns.\u00a0\u00a0 If we did, Prop 34 proponents and those who have long sought to eliminate the death penalty wouldn\u2019t get to use hyperbole or be allowed to mislead by exaggeration.\u00a0 It should be noted that Prop 34 supporters did not challenge a single statement by our side. \u00a0That’s because we stick to the facts and respect voters who have consistently and overwhelmingly affirmed the Death Penalty as a just sentence in cases where a murder has been committed with special and horrific circumstances. Never, in the arguments made by those who support repealing the death penalty do you hear them talk about the victims of the killers they seek to save.<\/p>\n

Well that stops today. Of course the murdered victims cannot speak, but there are victims who can.\u00a0 They are the families of murdered victims that lost a loved one at the hands of a cold-blooded killer.\u00a0 Our campaign will give them a voice to speak out about public safety. And that’s what is important…public safety. \u00a0Justice…the right of Californians to live in a safe community.\u00a0 Today is the first defeat for the Proposition 34 campaign.\u00a0 The next one will be on Election Day, when voters reject the hyperbole and opinion and stand up for California by voting No on 34.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
