    As a result of Governor Wolf's moratorium on capital punishment, Duffey's case was placed in civil suspense by the Third Circuit until said moratorium is lifted.

    A Governor should never have the power for a moratorium on the DP. He is using his own personal opinions and denying justice for the victims. Way to go Wolf. What a loser.
