WASHINGTON – The governor of the US state of Pennsylvania does not want to execute any inmates during his term in office. “Every time an execution warrant lands on my desk, I will sign a pardon,” said Democrat Josh Shapiro on Thursday (local time). He also called for the abolition of the death penalty in Pennsylvania. The 49-year-old was elected governor of the state in the midterm elections in November and took office in January. His predecessor, Democrat Tom Wolf, also opposes the death penalty and imposed a moratorium during his tenure.
