Rosen has recognized the high financial and moral costs of maintaining death sentences in Santa Clara County, prompting him to seek life sentences instead.
The system's racial biases and the reality that 4% of convictions are believed to be flawed have led Rosen to question the morality of capital punishment.
Rosen stated, 'I'm trying to end, for my county, the resources that we're spending every day, every week on litigation in these cases.'
The unnecessary expense of prolonged litigation has shifted Rosen's focus from death sentences to addressing other serious crimes effectively.
