John Kerry Supports Federal Moratorium on Death Penalty
John Kerry just rose quite a few notches in our estimation--he supports a mortorium on the federal death penalty.
Sen. John Kerry: "I oppose the death penalty other than in cases of real international and domestic terrorism. We know we have put innocent people to death; 111 innocent people have already been released from death row. As president, I'll enforce the law but I'll also have a national moratorium on federal executions until we use DNA evidence to make sure those on death row are guilty."
All of the Democratic candidates responded to a question by the Associated Press, "Do you support the death penalty."
