- 1:46Speaker 3: We begin in California as a judge refuses a plea
- 1:49Speaker 3: to overturn Richard Allen Davis's death sentence. Davis killed twelve
- 1:54Speaker 3: year old polyclass in nineteen ninety three after taking her
- 1:58Speaker 3: from her bedroom at NiFe Point, a crime that stunned
- 2:01Speaker 3: the nation. For more, we turned to Sidney Sumner with
- 2:04Speaker 3: Crime Online.
- 2:05Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety six, Richard Allen Davis was found guilty
- 2:09Speaker 2: by a jury of first degree murder as well as
- 2:11Speaker 2: the special circumstances of kidnapping robbery, burglary, and attempting a
- 2:15Speaker 2: lewd act on a minor. At the time of the
- 2:17Speaker 2: kidnapping and murder of the child, Davis was on parole
- 2:20Speaker 2: and had a long history of kidnapping and assaults dating
- 2:22Speaker 2: back to the nineteen seventies. He received the death penalty.
- 2:26Speaker 2: In the February court filing, Davis's attorneys contended that because
- 2:29Speaker 2: of recent modifications to California sentencing guidelines that removed some
- 2:33Speaker 2: sentencing enhancements, his death sentence should be revoked. They also
- 2:37Speaker 2: mentioned the death penalty ban that California now has in place.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Governor Gavin Newsom of California put an end to executions
- 2:43Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen after labeling the death penalty quote a
- 2:46Speaker 2: failure that has discriminated against defendants who are mentally ill,
- 2:50Speaker 2: black and brown, or can't afford expensive legal representation. This
- 2:54Speaker 2: is a policy that may be altered by future governors
- 2:56Speaker 2: in the state. The Sonoma County District Attorney's office stated
- 2:59Speaker 2: in as court document that the arguments put forth by
- 3:02Speaker 2: Davis's attorneys are quote nonsensical, and that the statutes they
- 3:05Speaker 2: reference are inapplicable to Davis's execution for the murder of
- 3:09Speaker 2: poly Class. Sonoma County Deputy District Attorney Sarah Brooks stated
- 3:13Speaker 2: to the court that the attorneys representing Davis were misquoting
- 3:16Speaker 2: a twenty twenty two statute that permits sentencing reevaluations for
- 3:19Speaker 2: certain individuals whose sentences were affected by special enhancements. Their petition,
- 3:24Speaker 2: according to her, is a quote collateral attack on the
- 3:26Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six conviction and death sentence. In agreement, Judge
- 3:30Speaker 2: Benjamin Williams turned down their motion. He said that the
- 3:33Speaker 2: prosecution was attempting to get out of the punishment part
- 3:35Speaker 2: of the trial rather than arguing for Davis to receive
- 3:38Speaker 2: a new sentence. Davis wasn't in attendance for the hearing.
- 3:41Speaker 2: It was in October of nineteen ninety three that Davis
- 3:44Speaker 2: took poly Class from her bedroom in Petaluma, some forty
- 3:47Speaker 2: miles north of San Francisco, and killed her by strangulation.
- 3:50Speaker 2: The night of Polly's abduction, her mother was sleeping in
- 3:52Speaker 2: an adjacent room as Polly and two friends hosted a sleepover.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Thousands of volunteers began a nationwide search for the girl
- 3:59Speaker 2: after her disas appearance.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Davis was caught two months later and led officers to
- 4:04Speaker 3: the child's remains, which were discovered in a shallow grave
- 4:07Speaker 3: fifty miles north of her Sonoma County home. Overseas now
