How many ways can a position of no death penalty be explained to you........it's barbaric as the rest of the world knows.....but you tea baggers are always blood thirsty thinking it solves your problems..... Life in prison without parole is the better way.... You didn't say if you would switch positions with Bundy for the great deal he is getting????

In Oklahoma, a botched lethal injection preceded a prisoner's death by heart attack. In Ohio, a lethal injection of a new combination of drugs preceded the death of an inmate who reportedly gasped and convulsed before he died. On Mississippi's death row, doubts about a woman's guilt delayed her execution and then led to a new trial. In Louisiana, a man who faced a death sentence for 30 years was exonerated and set free. These and other incidents are prompting many to take a fresh look at America's justice system and its use of the ultimate punishment. Some continue to support death as an option for the most terrible crimes. Others have come out against it. In the infographic above, statistics by the Death Penalty Information Center offer a fascinating snapshot of executions in the United States, including how they're done, where they take place and how many prisoners are executed each year. edition.cnn.com
