We discuss lethal injection, and why it’s been on hold in California for so long. What would resuming executions mean for the state?

California was scheduled to execute the first inmate in nearly five years Tuesday night, but Governor Schwarzenegger has delayed the execution to have more time to consider clemency.

Guests:

Kevin Fagan, reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle specializing in social issues

Natasha Minsker, death penalty policy director for the ACLU of Northern California

Michael Rushford, president of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation
