In 2008 there were about 14,180 according to FBI statistics. However, it should be noted that some jurisdictions don't report to the FBI, and many felony manslaughters aren't tallied as "murders" in these DOJ reports. In the 2000's the US had lower homicide rates than any decade since the 1950's. Rates per/100,000 including homicides, justifiable homicides, terrorism deaths, and executions are...

2008= 6.0

2007= 6.2

2006= 6.4

2005= 6.3

2004= 6.1

2003= 6.0

2002= 6.0

2001= 7.1

2000= 5.9

What percent of people killed by the death penalty are innocent each year?

Less than one percent. Over the past century about 25 people have been executed in the US and then later proven innocent. Now we have DNA testing which takes away almost all doubt of innocence or guilt. And there also must be a unanamous vote for the death penalty. So now there is almost no way to be executed and then proven innocent.

How many people get killed over facebook a year?

I read the news daily on both English and Dutch websites and I have read up to 5 cases in which a "Facebook" murder has taken place. I don't know if every "Facebook" murder will make it to the newspapers, and it's also hard to tell when a murder is committed over Facebook or not. If I would have to guess, I would say ~20-50 people are killed each year over problems somewhat related to Facebook. This ofcourse isn't the only reason, there is no reason to commit murder in the first place!
