California judge to consider recalling Richard Allen Davis' death sentence for 1993 Polly Klaas murder due to legal changes and death penalty moratorium.
A California judge is set to consider whether to recall the death sentence of Richard Allen Davis, who kidnapped and killed 12-year-old Polly Klaas in 1993. Jurors found Davis guilty of first-degree murder and additional charges in 1996. Davis' attorneys argue that his death sentence should be recalled due to recent changes in California's sentencing laws and the state's current moratorium on the death penalty.
