We are one of the most primitive nations on our view of capitial punishment and fall slightly under the execution rate of China!
Sen. Russell Feingold [D-WI] introduced the bill, stating that, “Since 1976, when the death penalty was reinstated by the Supreme Court, there have been 1,060 executions across the country, including three at the Federal level. During that same time period, 123 people on death row have been exonerated and released from death row. These people never should have been convicted in the first place.”
As a nation, it is time for us to realize that our view is ancient and barbaric. We are condemning innocents to be murderers in order to redeem murders. We are legalizing that which we outlaw in society.
