Long Live The Death Penalty!

Emcee: Bill	Type: Moderated

Introduction Compact

Death Penalty opponents have invented a number of myths that Big Media helps them perpetrate.

Myth # 1: The Death Penalty is not a deterrent.
Myth # 2: Life in prison is a worse punishment than death.
Myth # 3: Innocent people are known to have been executed.
Myth # 4: Being on Death Row means you'll be executed.
Myth # 5: The monetary cost of execution is several times that of life without parole.
Myth # 6: All prisoners released from Death Row didn't commit the murder.

In the last 30 years, there has not been a single case where an executed person was later proved innocent. Having read most of the reputable studies on the DP, I am open to new information. Bring it on if you have it.
