NEW: California Governor Gavin Newsom commutes the death sentence of Richard Allen Davis, who was accused of kidnapping, r*ping, & murdering a 12-year-old girl.
In 1993, Davis broke into the home of Polly Klaas, 12, during a slumber party.
He sneaked into her home and held her at knifepoint in front of her friends. He then kidnapped her and killed her before he dumped her body.
Klaas' body wasn't found until two months later.
During sentencing, Davis taunted the girl's father as he read his statement: "Just don't do me like my dad," he claimed Klaas told him before he killed her.
There is zero evidence that Klaas was abused by her father, who lunged at Davis after the killer made the comment in court.
Thanks to Gavin Newsom, Davis' life has been spared after he commuted the death sentences of all 548 people on death row.
