Richard Allen Davis: Safe on Death Row
When a jury found Richard Allen Davis guilty of the murder of Petaluma’s 12-year-old Polly Klaas in 1996, Davis puckered his lips and extended a middle finger to TV cameras. Later, Davis was sentenced to death, and outraged California voters passed a three-strikes sentencing law. From death row now, Davis still is puckering up and extending his finger at the public — and the public is paying for it. It’s 2009, yet it was only this month that Davis’ first appeal was argued before the California Supreme Court.
