Death Penalty USA: 2003 - 2004

The United States is after China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, the fifth most active country in sanctioning capital punishment - the execution of a convicted criminal by the State. Between January 2003 and December 2004, 124 men were executed by the people of the United States for the stated purpose of deterrence and retribution. The Supreme Court of the United States has said that its citizens know almost nothing about capital punishment. Reading the horrific crimes described in this volume, the second in a series of books documenting the most recent U.S. capital crime and punishment cases, will help you decide if the U.S. government's promise of justice for a life wrongfully taken is being kept.
