Today's Thousand Oaks Acorn reports, "Religious leaders share views on Prop. 34," by Stephanie Bertholdo.

Religious leaders throughout the Conejo Valley are considering their stance on Proposition 34, an initiative to eliminate the death penalty in California.

If the initiative passes in November, death sentences will be replaced with life in prison without the possibility of parole. The law will apply retroactively to people found guilty of murder who have been sentenced to death.
