Death Sentences in U.S. on the Decline
A new report released today by the Death Penalty Information Center shows death sentences in the U.S. have dropped in each of the past four years.
The Death Penalty Information Center, which is to release the report tomorrow, attributes the decline largely to growing public awareness of death-row exonerations and concerns that innocent people might be sentenced to die.
John Kerry has said he supports a moratorium on the death penalty.
