I wish California would catch up to Texas in this category. We have over 650 on death row.....time to put in an express lane.
As comedian Ron White would say.."If you kill someone in front of several people..we will put u on the express lane"..something like that...
I was just looking over some of your recent posts and came across this one.
We don't need to catch up to Texas on the number of people we put on death row, we have way more than Texas. Our problem is in the follow through. It never occured to the lame-brains living here that putting a person on death row actually meant that they were supposed to kill a few, every now and then! Hard concept, I know.
The following map is from three years ago, but I'm sure the numbers have gone up considerably since then, I just couldn't find anything newer.
