加州州长纽森减免全部548名死囚死刑 11月8日地方检察官与警界公开反弹

加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森11月5日宣布，将全州死囚牢房全部548名囚犯的死刑减为不得假释的终身监禁，其中男性529人、女性19人。这是美国历史上规模最大的一次集体减刑。纽森在致加州民众的公开信中说，他坚信由国家执行的处决与加州的价值不相容，会动摇司法制度的基础。他同时提及死刑的错判风险与高昂成本。

纽森2019年上任不久即暂停执行死刑，加州自2006年以来未执行过死刑。此次减刑不释放任何囚犯，也不使任何人获得假释资格，更不废除加州的死刑制度，未来的案件仍可判处死刑。需要注意的是，其中约382名囚犯因有多次重罪前科，按加州宪法其减刑须经加州最高法院审查同意后才能最终生效，纽森已请法院在2026年年底前作出建议。

11月8日，反弹公开升级。圣华金县地方检察官罗恩·弗雷塔斯抨击这一决定忽视受害者家属、抹去检察官与陪审团数十年的工作，并表示其办公室将继续在符合条件的谋杀案中寻求死刑。

河滨市警察局长拉里·冈萨雷斯11月8日同样公开批评，指出被减刑者中包括杀害河滨市警员瑞安·博纳米尼奥与侦探查尔斯·雅各布斯的凶手，而11月7日正好是博纳米尼奥遇害16周年。洛杉矶县地方检察官内森·霍克曼则表示，此次减刑并未废除加州死刑，能否废除只能由立法机构或选民决定。检方与执法部门的不满显示，死刑议题在加州仍远未平息。

Governor Newsom Commutes All 548 California Death Sentences as Prosecutors and Police Push Back

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on November 5 that he is commuting the death sentences of all 548 people on the state's death row — 529 men and 19 women — to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the largest mass commutation in U.S. history. In an open letter to Californians, Newsom said he firmly believes state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California's values and undermines the foundations of the legal system, citing also the risk of wrongful convictions and the high cost of capital punishment.

Newsom imposed a moratorium on executions shortly after taking office in 2019, and California has not executed anyone since 2006. The commutations release no one and make no one eligible for parole, and they do not repeal California's death penalty, which remains available in future cases. About 382 of the prisoners have multiple felony convictions, so under the state constitution their commutations require review by the California Supreme Court before they are final; Newsom has asked the court to issue its recommendation before the end of 2026.

The backlash escalated publicly on November 8. San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas blasted the decision for sidelining victims' families and wiping away decades of work by prosecutors and juries, and said his office will continue to seek the death penalty in eligible murder cases.

Riverside Police Chief Larry Gonzalez also criticized the move on November 8, noting that those commuted include the killers of Riverside Officer Ryan Bonaminio and Detective Charles Jacobs III — and that November 7 marked exactly 16 years since Bonaminio was murdered. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the commutations do not end the death penalty in California, which only the Legislature or the voters can do. The pushback from prosecutors and law enforcement shows the death penalty debate in California is far from settled.
