Killing criminals after a trial manages to get the attention of the U.N., but killing your own citizens garners barely a whimper there and will probably get your ambassadors on prestigious committee seats.

There is no conclusive evidence of the death penalty's deterrence value"

Except 100% of those put to death never commit another crime.

"There is no conclusive evidence of the death penalty's deterrence value...

Actually, we have no business punishing one person to impact the behavior of another. The death penalty is the appropriate punishment for murderers.

LOL!! After escaping from multiple jails in different states, Ted Bundy came to Florida.

He will never savagely murder our children again

“There is no conclusive evidence of the death penalty’s deterrence value”

So, if death is no deterrent then what kind of deterrent is 3 squares a day and a warm room?

Is the deterrent concept a thing of the past? Are we now supposed to provide incentives and positive reinforcement for people who see no value in life and the laws of society?

So? The UN wants us to eliminate the death penalty?

Meanwhile back at the execution chamber: NEXT!

New Jersey going world-wide?

I can live without the death penalty, if the alternative makes the perp WISH for death. My proposed solution is spelled out in my FReeper profile.

The 104–54 vote for suspending executions is not legally binding ....... - The UN is not legally binding. They could outlaw gravity with equal effect.
