Price of capital punishment high
Only most ardent opponents still hope for reprieve
TOPEKA—Legislators found themselves confronted yesterday with the cost of capital punishment, just a day before a death penalty bill was expected to become law.
The Associated Press
The state Board of Indigents' Defense Services asked two legislative committees to endorse an appropriation of $2.66 million to cover the costs of administering the capital punishment law. The board oversees the system for providing legal services to defendants who cannot afford them.
Only the most ardent opponents still hoped Gov. Joan Finney would break her promise to let the bill become law at midnight tonight without her signature. Finney and her top aide have reiterated her position at least seven times in public during the past two weeks.
One of Finney's fellow Democrats, State Rep. and House Minority Leader Tom Sawyer, unleashed a bitter attack on the governor, saying "state sanctioned killing" will be her legacy.
"Her achievements as the first woman governor of this state will be overshadowed by her willingness to bring the death penalty back to Kansas," Sawyer said.
The bill's enactment would end 22 years of debate over whether Kansas should bring back the death penalty. A 1972 U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidated the state's law, as well as those of all other states.
"It's not the kind of issue that causes me to jump up and down with joy."
The Board of Indigents' Defense Services provided its cost estimate to the House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means committees. Both were drafting the session's last spending bill in advance of the Legislature's wrap-up session, which convenes Wednesday.
said State Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Hays, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a death penalty supporter.
The board proposed creating a state capital defender's office, with a staff of 22 people. The proposal would cost $198,292 during the current budget year and $2.47 million during fiscal year 1995, which begins July 1.
The board's figures are based on an assumption that such an office would be involved in 19 cases over the next 14 months.
But State Rep. Fred Gatlin, R-Atwood, who heads the House Appropriations subcommittee that deals with the board's budget, was skeptical. He suggested appropriating between $925,000 and $1.13 million to get a capital defender's office started.
"We really don't know how much it's going to cost," Gatlin said. "We don't know how broadly the death penalty will be applied."
The bill on Finney's desk would create seven capital crimes, all of them premeditated murder. The list covers multiple killings, murders of law enforcement officials, murders of some sex crime victims and killings of some kidnapping victims.
The legislation was presented to her April 12. Under the state constitution, if a governor does not act on a bill, it becomes law automatically after 10 days. The new capital punishment law would take effect on July 1.
Finney personally opposes the death penalty. However, during her
Capital crimes
Here are the seven capital crimes created under a capital punishment bill on Gov. Joan Finney's desk.
4. Murder for hire or participation in a murder-for-hire scheme.
5. Killing of a prison or jail employee or inmate by a prison or jail inmate.
6. Murder of a law enforcement officer.
All are premeditated murder.
1. Murder of a kidnapping victim, if that person was being held for ransom.
7. Two or more killings at once or killings "connected together or constituting parts of a common scheme."
2. Killing of a kidnapping victim under 14, if that victim was being held because the criminal intended to commit a sex crime, such as rape.
3. Killing of a victim of rape, criminal sodomy and aggravated criminal sodomy.

1990 campaign for governor, she promised not to prevent its enactment because of the public support capital punishment enjoys. She said she would not sign the bill, but not veto it either.
"No, she hasn't changed her mind," Mary Holladay, her daughter, chief of staff and closest adviser, said.
Polls show that capital punishment loses support when the public is presented with alternatives, such as life in prison with no chance of parole, Sawyer said.
