My boy is at it again. How many of you favor the death penalty ? I equivocate.. JUSTICE: ASHCROFT'S DEATH PENALTY CAMPAIGN: Mother Jones reports "federal prosecutors across the country have become demoralized and infuriated" by Attorney General John Ashcroft's unprecedented attempts to push the federal death penalty (http://www.mojones.com/news/update/2004/10/10_405.html) . "Since Ashcroft took office in February 2001, he has imposed the formerly rare federal death penalty in nearly 100 cases across the country. In 37 of them to date, he took the unprecedented step of overriding the wishes of local prosecutors who had not sought the death penalty. He has also asked for the federal death penalty in cases in seven states that don't allow capital punishment." Judges and prosecutors quoted in the article accused Ashcroft of "undermining the investigation and prosecution of violent crimes" in America.
