Here are a few death penalty stories from last week:

Massachusetts legislative leaders are talking about the death penalty again, reports Hillary Chabot in the Boston Herald. Supporters include the speaker, majority leader, and assistant majority leader of the House, all Democrats. The governor is adamantly against it.

Maryland has new regulations for its lethal injection protocol, even though the legislature has reduced new death sentences to a token few. Lisa Rein has this story in the WaPo.

California holds a hearing on its new regs tomorrow. Death penalty opponents plan to demonstrate to everyone what a bunch of jerks they are by spamming the hearing with off-topic comments on the death penalty generally. Scott Smith has this story in the Stockton Record.
