The execution of Rodney Berget at the state penitentiary in Sioux Falls this week was the end of a long legal process.
A Governor plays a role in that with the power to commute a death sentence. Current Governor Dennis Daugaard declined to stop the execution.
Republican Governor candidate Kristi Noem says the proper process was followed…
Noem says the death penalty and her pro life stance are not incompatible…
Noem says as Governor, she would be able to make those decisions….
Noem faces Democrat Billie Sutton and Libertarian Kurt Evans in Tuesday’s election.
