How would it increase murders when the death penalty had no effect on crimes.
Give me some raw data on that. Let me know how murders in Illinois have fared since Governor Ryan declared a moratorium on the death penalty in Illinois.
And no one has properly been able to tell me why TEXAS isn't the SAFEST state in the union. Afterall, they fry em faster than any of the rest.
There's a lot of states in the bottom 10 in murder rate that DONT EVEN USE THE DEATH PENALTY!
So let's face it -- THE DEATH PENALTY DOESN'T WORK!
