You've got to be kidding.

Our murder rate is far higher than in any other industrialized nation and none of them have the death penalty.

What's deterring all those murders abroad?

In the U.S. the states with the death penalty have higher murder rates than the ones without.

What's deterring all those murders in the non death penalty states?
