was sentenced to death for the torture and killing of the 8-year-old. Both of the murderers are now in jail for their crimes.At time of writing, Isauro Aguirre resides on death row at the San Quentin prison in California, where he is one of 737 inmates—the largest death row in the western world.
Among other infamous residents of the Californian death row are Scott Peterson, who murdered Laci Peterson and their unborn son, the so-called"Grim Sleeper" Lonnie Franklin, and Richard Allen Davis, the man whose case led to the establishment of California's"three strikes" law. Since 1976, when capital punishment was resumed in the state, only 13 Californian death row inmates have been executed, with the last dying by lethal injection in 2006. Aguirre is unlikely to be joining them any time soon. In March 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the state would have a moratorium on capital punishment., Newsom said of his decision:"I know people think eye for eye, but if you rape, we don't rape," he said.
"I cannot sign off on executing hundreds and hundreds of human beings, knowing—knowing—that among them will be innocent human beings."
