Myth # 1: The Death Penalty is not a deterrent - oh, that must be why they stretch it out for years [8 is the average], trying for reprieve

Myth # 2: Life in prison is a worse punishment than death - guess that shoots down the theory that prison is all bout reforming prisoners

Myth # 3: Innocent people have been executed - and guilty people have gone free

Myth # 4: Being on Death Row means you'll be executed - Currently, 38 states and the federal government have active death penalties. Since 1973, 6,000 people have been sentenced to death, and 402 have been executed [The National Law Journal (p. A01)Monday, August 4, 1997]
