There are currently 15 states plus the District of Columbia that do not use the death penalty. Officially, only 14 of the states have banned captial punishment; the fifteenth state, New York, still has a death penalty statute on its books, but part of the statute was declared unconstitutional in 2004, but New York has made no effort to rewrite or reinstate the law.

personnnaly i dont think so but many people do freakin right it should be kill the killers and rape the rapists. Yes, some crime are so horrendous that the ultimate penalty is richly deserved.
