No, the US remains a party to this process, leaving it to the 50 states to make rules on this procedure of law.
death penalty should not be legal because what is the purpose of killing those who may have been framed for killing someone. like in the dexter series, the icetruck killer found someone to deliver dead people to unsuspecting people around their town, but in the end the icetruck killer was never found until the end when dexter found out his sister was dating him..... wow tht was pointless.
