In the U.S. state of California, capital punishment is not allowed to be carried out as of March 2019. Executions were halted by an official moratorium ordered by Governor Gavin Newsom. Before the moratorium, executions had been frozen by a federal court order since 2006, and the litigation resulting in the court order has been on hold since the promulgation of the moratorium. Thus, there will be a court-ordered moratorium on executions after the termination of Newsom's moratorium if capital punishment still remains a legal penalty in California by then. This volume of the American Killers series has 80 California killer and serial killer biographies A to C, their lives, crimes and sentences.
