the Death Penalty to way to many cases where it shouldn't be applicable. Prosecutors have been overzealous in seeking Death penalty cases. I don't trust state/county prosecutors to use the proper discretion. But there are cases such as mass murder and terrorist activity that I support the Death Penalty. The most important change would be to insure top quality defense representation at the Trial Court level for any Defendant subject to the Death Penalty
