If you have the death penalty, and the likes of Michael Ryan are on death row for almost 30 years and there still isn't an execution date, you don't have a death penalty. The repeal was an acknowledgement of the reality of the situation. Made Governor Ricketts look like a twit (again), and that might have been the clincher. The voters might be having a little election remorse over their governor too.
BTW, don't google Michael Ryan, even though the worst of what he did isn't on the internet, what is there will give you nightmares.
Back in the 90s Stephen Harper cheated Nebraska by committing suicide on death row. There might have been one or 2 more in the last 40 years, can't recall for sure.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
