Bid to block Nevada death penalty drug plan draws 2nd inmate

Three Democratic-majority legislatures have passed measures abolishing the death penalty since 2019, but party control could be a less decisive factor in Nevada as state lawmakers debate a repeal measure. Unlike Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia, some of Nevada's most powerful Democrats support the death penalty. Advocates on both sides of the issue say the contrast among the states underscores how the death penalty continues to jumble partisan divides. (Nevada Department of Corrections via AP, File)
