		Carl T. Rowan: Texas can't resist cries for the death penalty ^Votes:0 3:14 PM 10/22/1997 CARL. T. ROWAN Texas can't resist cries for the death penalty The death penalty, Texas style, was attacked harshly on two fronts Monday. All 21 of Texas' Roman Catholic bishops urged the state to abandon its increasing practice of executing lawbreakers because it "usurps the sovereign dominion of God," adds to "a climate of violence," is not a deterrent to crime, has racist overtones and costs millions of dollars. In Washington, four justices of the U.S. Supreme Court issued a statement charging that court practices in Texas swayed jurors toward imposition of the death penalty instead of a sentence of life imprisonment. Texas forbids judges from telling jurors when a convict will be eligible for parole if he is not sentenced to die. Justice John Paul Stevens wrote -- wit Read More Go to Site

		frontline: angel on death row ^Votes:0 --> text version of this page web site copyright 1995-2007 WGBH educational foundation Angel on Death Row FRONTLINE takes on the death penalty debate with a personal profile of the woman behind the highly acclaimed motion picture Dead Man Walking, Sister Helen Prejean.

		The Death Penalty Quiz ^Votes:0 Americans' knowledge of the death penalty is faint. Despite our ignorance the majority of us favor capital punishment. Amnesty International is categorically opposed to the death penalty. In country after country, it is used disproportionately against the poor or against racial or ethnic minorities -- the United States is no exception 1 . The death penalty kills innocents and is a violation of fundamental human rights. For these reasons, Amnesty International supports alternatives to the death penalty. But don't take the word of an unseen and (on the internet--innominate) author. In the death penalty quiz, we have assembled facts about capital punishments role in our society. If you favor the death penalty at least you can favor it with a more lucid view of how executions are executed in o Read More Go to Site
