Best Answer

Capital punishment has ended in most civilized countries. Previously eye witness and fingerprint evaluation provided the basis for most capital punishment. After DNA evidence became available, it showed that many people facing death were actually innocent. For years the government had been executing innocent people. As a result, a number of places ended capital punishment.
