Tensions grew high while lawmakers debated one of Louisiana’s most controversial laws, the death penalty, on Wednesday, May 24.

For the fifth time in six years, lawmakers in Louisiana have blocked attempts to abolish the state’s death penalty. A House committee on Wednesday rejected a bill, 11-4, to abolish the death penalty.

John Bel Edwards used his final State of the State Address to publicly call on the Louisiana Legislature to end the death penalty in state.

Gov. John Bel Edwards for the first time is for an end to the death penalty in Louisiana.

Legislation to abolish the death penalty in Louisiana was voted down 5-1 Tuesday in a state Senate committee.
