Plus, the death penalty isn't applied UNIFORMLY so even if 2 people had the exact same facts in their case but 1 just happened to live in the Nascar section of town while the other one lived in the section of town known for their Barbara Streissand retrospectives, they would NOT get the same penalty.
Plus, the DEATH PENALTY has been shown to be meted out disproportionately to people who kill WHITES.
Why can't America be more like Europe? They don't kill mofos for crimes there but Europe's still awesome.

in fifty years time we will all be on our death beds, the death penalty when thought of that way is almost defeated because the suspect will eventually die anyway. it is just a question of quality of life, and the quality of life inside prisons where i come from is pretty quishy.
sometimes i ask the same question about why the united states can't change.
