- W223840110 abstract "This article proposes changes in 1994 State of New York death penalty statute designed to deal with reversal of capital sentence in 2003 NY Court of Appeals decision in People v. Cahill. In 1998, defendant Jeff Cahill brutally attacked his wife with an aluminum baseball bat during a domestic quarrel. Six months later Mr. Cahill snuck into his wife's hospital room, where she was continuing her recovery from earlier attack, and poisoned her to death with stolen potassium cyanide. Jeff Cahill's death sentence was reversed when Court of Appeals found evidence at trial insufficient to satisfy two provisions of statute: intentional killing of a witness to prevent testimony at trial and intentional killings during commission of aggravated burglary sections of statute. Shortly after decision in People v. Cahill, NY Court of Appeals invalidated entire death penalty statute on State constitutional grounds. Extensive legislative hearings were then held in 2004 and 2005 on whether capital punishment should be restored in New York. This article offers four additions and modifications to a revised death penalty statute that would prevent a brutal killer like Mr.Cahill from escaping maximum penalty imposed by NY law. It takes no position on whether NY should continue to impose death penalty. It argues, rather, that any state law that imposes most severe criminal penalty available, whether a death sentence or life in prison without parole, should cover the of worst intentional killings. These must include murders that are done with deliberate and premeditated intent to kill, involve execution of incapacitated victims, occur during certain specified burglaries, or are in violation of pre-existing domestic violence restraining orders. The article proposes statutory language for provisions of this kind. These proposals were presented during legislative hearings on restoration of capital punishment. Currently, New York has chosen not to adopt a new death penalty statute. Therefore, this article should be considered by lawmakers in any state that is re-examining its first degree murder statute." @default.
