Sanders jabs Clinton on death penalty

Sanders said any “real” reform on the issue is incomplete without prohibiting capital punishment.

“Real criminal justice reform must have the United States join every other major democracy in eliminating the death penalty,” Sanders said in a statement.

Clinton said Wednesday that the death penalty should be “limited and rare.”
Sanders also advocated relaxing laws on marijuana consumption and possession. That stance will be absent from Clinton’s roll-out, which focuses on issues of racial justice.

He backed Clinton’s call for fairer sentencing in crack and powder cocaine use.

“Secretary Clinton is right. We must eliminate sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine,” he said in the statement. “That is why I have repeatedly voted in favor of addressing this disparity.”
