HARTFORD, CONN.: Connecticut's governor has vetoed legislation that would have abolished the death penalty.
Gov. Jodi Rell says the state cannot tolerate people who commit the most violent of murders.
The Republican had expressed her opposition to the measure all along and issued her promised veto today.
Supporters in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly have said they do not have the necessary two-thirds majority of votes to override her veto. The bill, which would have replaced capital punishment with life in prison, passed 19-17 in the Senate and 90-56 in the House last month.
Connecticut has 10 death row inmates. It has executed one inmate since the U.S. Supreme Court allowed states to reinstate capital punishment in 1976.
