his final General Session with the Utah House of Representatives was HB 147, Death Penalty Modifications, which prohibits the state from seeking the death penalty for aggravated murder committed after May 4, 2022. The bill ultimately did not pass in 2022 but may be revisited in a future session of the Legislature. Snow brought up three points three points with the committee that heard the bill: “No. 1, the death penalty is broken. No. 2, the death penalty unintentionally can cause more harm to victim (family) members. No. 3, maintaining the death penalty means we run the risk, in our state, of executing innocent people.” Snow mentioned a 2018 report in the state that found, despite spending $40 million prosecuting death penalty cases in the last 20 years, the state only imposed two death sentences. “We have almost nothing to show for that,” he said. “How much better would it be to redirect that to helping the victims and the victims’ families?” Personal life and achievements Snow lives in St. George, Utah.
