The number of people sentenced to death last year fell to the lowest level since the Supreme Court reinstated the penalty in 1976.
There were 125 people sent to death row in 2004, down from 144 the previous year and the sixth consecutive annual decline, according to figures compiled by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. In 1998, 300 people received death sentences.
Capital punishment is another one of "those" subjects that seem to polarize people.
I certainly see the validity of the argument from both sides, but lean towards supporting the death sentence in certain cases.
Thoughts?
