Extractions: LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA EDUCATION FUND PROPOSITION 18 MURDER: SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. Legislative Initiative Amendment Should California expand the law prescribing execution or permanent imprisonment to include certain murders involving ambush, murders by arson, and kidnap-murders? In 1977, the California Legislature rewrote the state death penalty law to conform more narrowly to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Furman v. Georgia. In 1978, voters also approved a broader death penalty initiative (Briggs), which is now the California law. For first-degree murder, the law now provides for a term of 25-years-to-life in prison, with eventual parole eligibility. First-degree murder can also result in a sentence of death or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole if additional specified felonies or "special circumstances" apply. Proposition 18 would change the law for murder involving two felonies: arson and kidnapping. Present law prescribes execution or life imprisonment for murder committed while any of a dozen specified felonies is attempted, assisted, or accomplished, or during flight afterward. Proposition 18 would add that: the special circumstances requirement is met when the intent to kill and the "elements" of kidnapping or arson are established.
