1. Recommend. This is what changes the US death penalty into "unusual."

[Brigid]

2. Check out the other countries in red.

4. I wish they'd shown non DP states in teal. We're out there

and we don't murder our citizens.

[Nye Bevan]

5. If you commit a Federal crime in a non-DP state,

you are still eligible for the death penalty. If there was no Federal DP I would agree with you.

[Logical]

6. SO MANY members of the DU love the DP. Disgusting. n-t
