Reponse to a classmate's blog.

This posting is in response to a classmate’s blog regarding the death penalty. This blog can be viewed at A Citizen's Thoughts Blog.


I really agree that we should keep the death penalty in Texas. You pointed out that we have only used the death penalty around 400 times since 1976, which I also agree that we have not overused it. Most inmates spend several years on death row before they are ever excuted. They are given several chances for appeals and even have the chance to have new DNA technology introduced when thier cases are reopened after several decades. Great job on your blog.
