My guess is percent of executions is a lagging indicator...

Gee. What's wrong with just saying capital punishment is PUNISHMENT for murder and need not have a deterrent effect?

What would you suggest as appropriate punishment for Timothy McVeigh or Osama bin Laden? And keep in mind that the Bill of Rights bans torture.

What a useless table. Everyone knows it takes ten years to execute someone.

Look at murder rates at years when capital punishment was passed instead.
