BTW, the death penalty is giant waste and an antiquated concept. It doesn't deter anyone from committing murder, and it costs so much money keeping a death row inmate for years, and all of the court appeals, etc. We should try to get to the source of our problems, instead of putting band-aids on them. Invest in the education system, not prisons.
