Death Penalty #3

Death Penalty is got many ins and outs.  The system is set up so the man who is guilty gets convicted.  The lawyers are hired by the government.  The lawyers for the people that cannot afford are usually not very good.  Sometimes cases could be won but they do not have the proper lawyer to help defend them.  Most times the cases are unfair and much of the evidence is never revealed or the police lose it.  The most humane way to kill people is by lethal injection.  It is a pain free way to kill people unlike some of the other ways.  Hanging and firing squads are violent ways to kill people.  I would rather die a painless death then be killed or hung.  There are fourteen states that don't have the death penalty.  The United States government and the military have their own death penalties and death rows.  Most of the states use lethal injections including Illinois.  California has the most inmates with 669 and the state of New Mexico has one.  Some of these statistics are really stunning when you look at them.  I expected more states to have more inmates I guess I was wrong.  When it comes to execution more white people have been excused then black people.  There have been over 1200 executions in the United States.  This chart gives the clear story on the death penalty.
