His most likely Republican opponent in this fall's elec- tiOns, Assembly Minority Leader Perry Duryea, im- mediately accused the . governor of having \denied New Yorkers the means they have asked for to protect themselves against savagery and terror.\ And the sponsors of the bill promised an override at- tempt.

It cleared the Senate 39-19 and the Assem- bly 94·51. The · sweeping capital punishment bill, which would apply to about 100 murders a year, is shaping up as a major weapon in the Republican assault on Carey's expected re-election bid later this year. It would.allow a second jllry in some murder trilils to weigh the circumstances of the crime and the record of the defendant before deciding if the death penalty was warranted.
