Death Penalty Moratorium? 1-Star Fall Foliage Reviews, Cheap Ski Program.
Local prisoner advocates are calling for a moratorium on the death penalty after a botched execution in Tennessee and a man was released from Utah's own death row. Host Ali Vallarta, executive producer Emily Means, and City Cast Salt Lake Cassie Bingham discuss what it would take for lawmakers to take capital punishment off the books. Plus, on a much lighter note, we play a fall game and share picks for your weekend.
