The death penalty is still relevant! If anything we need to streamline the process. There needs to be a limit on the # appeals and time period in between the appeals inmates can file and the amount of time from the time of the final appeal and when the execution is complete.
The only thing relevant about the death penalty is the need to abolish it. Do you seriously think its a deterrent? Because many states in the US that have the death penalty have higher crime rates than those that don't.
Utah needs to abolish the death penalty. The tax dollars saved needs to go to programs to lower crime such as drug rehabilitation programs, mental health care, housing, job creation ecta.
Thank you, Jim Spiewak - very well done

Tell that to Debra Brown, she spent 18 years in prison before being exonerated and released
