re: Question about CA Death Penalty case

You don't need a precedent to issue a ruling. CA's jacked up moratorium kept him in limbo, which is violative of the 8th amendment, according to his judgment.
Which is still a fricking stupid judgment IMHO.
The moratorium is effectively an indefinite stay on the sentence, just as if a judge decided that various aspects of his case needed to be re-heard.
All it does is ensure that he won't be executed until it is lifted and, frankly, I don't see Moonbeam or the CA legislature having the balls to lift it given how unpopular the death penalty is with their base.

Thank you for answering. I just am still somewhat puzzled as to why this ruling was made

Since both Brown and Harris are against the DP, I wouldn't be surprised if they refuse to appeal the decision like they did with Prop 8.
