Romano

Returning to death sentences is “a terrible idea,” Michael Romano, a Stanford law professor and chair of the California Committee on the Revision of the Penal Code, told me, and I couldn’t agree more.

In Los Angeles County from 2012 to 2019, none of the 22 people sentenced to death were white, according to a 2021 death penalty report by Romano’s committee.

That discretion to pursue what is right over what is simply legal is “what has led prosecutors across our state and the country to create conviction integrity units that examine old cases; to lobby to change laws on how young people are interrogated and sentenced; to question police shootings and perform independent investigations,” Romano pointed out.

His final film credit was the 2004 political satire "Welcome to Mooseport," co-starring Ray Romano.

They don't produce mobsters like they used to, Giancarlo Romano told an associate in a wiretapped conversation before he was shot dead a year ago.
