Sounds believable except for one FACT. Texas has led and continue to led the country is executions. If the death penalty deters crime then how come Texas still leads in the number of people executed? Logically the number should have decreased to do the "deterent" effect. By now Texas should be murder free.

in your usual "i'm really not very smart, but please tolerate me because i'm too dumb to know better" style of posting... you use what only a retarded wombat, drunk on elephant piss and rotten berries would call "logic" to draw moronic conclusions.
how come Texas leads the states in executions?
uhmm.. what were you expecting? a 20-way tie?
as for your other arguments.... Murder 1 requires premeditation. has absolutely nothing to do with the heat of the moment and any other similarly idiotic argument.
having a state be number 1 doesn't say anything at all about deterrence. since you are not talking about an increase or decrease or any change supported by actual stats, a rational mind might think that Texas being number 1 simply suggests that more capital murder cases are sucessfully prosecuted in Texas. since the article says nothing at all about Texas.. you don't win a prize
