Brilliant! Well done, Washington (the state, not the District of Columbia.)
BREAKING: The Washington Supreme Court just struck down the death penalty, citing racial bias. This makes Washington the 20th state in the nation to outlaw the death penalty. We won't stop fighting until it's struck down everywhere in America.

So who suggested bringing the death penalty to Wash I ngton anyway??

Washington has had the death penalty since 1919. In 1975 a state ballot initiative made it mandatory for aggravated murder. It passed with 69% of the vote. Washington has lost various court battles since, modifying the law accordingly.
