<< So do you think N.Y. went up because of THEIR long moratorium on the death penalty! >> Yes, you've got. The murder rate went up because there was no death penalty. Then, when the death penalty was reinstated, the murder rate went down by a record 23%. << The moratoria were on death penalties, Bill; they were not on MURDERS. >> Au contraire. In Furman, the supreme court commuted the sentences of 629 death row inmates around the country. God only knows how many of them went back out and started killing again. No matter how many paragraphs you write, you cannot provide a single reasonable argument against the death penalty as deterrent, Solon.
