The article reports that a committee of the New Jersey State Senate passed a bill eliminating capital punishment on December 3, 2007. A special commission had advised doing so earlier in the year. Governor Jon Corzine has vowed to sign the bill, which is now expected to become law. New Jersey would be the first state to ban capital punishment since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it constitutional in 1976.
