The Nebraska legislature is conservative, but being non-partisan means it often takes positions that makes sense for conservatives but is often shouted down by party pressure in the Republicans. In the death penalty case the two main arguments used was it cost the state tons of money over something that wasn't being used and that it wasn't fair to the families of victims since it kept putting them through years of appeals and uncertainty. In this case they're basically standing up for actual "family values". I suppose the Nebraska legislature could be pointed to as a rare example of actual "compassionate conservatism" in the US.
