Death Penalty Trends
The Boulder Daily Camera has a good editorial on the death penalty today. It notes three growing trends in the country:
- Executions were fewer in number.
- Capital punishment was confined more narrowly to one region.
- The integrity of the death-penalty system was challenged by elected officials in a position to do something about it.
Conclusion:
That's progress — one year of progress toward the day when Americans decide at last to abolish the death penalty.
