Hearing Friday on NH death penalty

"A commission studying New Hampshire's death penalty law will hear from those who are for it and against it. The commission will hold its first public hearing on Friday.

A coalition of opponents of the death penalty, including crime victims, clergy and a man who spent nearly 19 years on death row for a crime he didn't comment, are expected to turn out to speak in favor of repealing the law.

Lawmakers created the commission to review all aspects of the capital murder law.

The hearing will be held at 10 a.m. in the Legislative Office Building in Concord."
