I'd have to look, but I don't believe they have the DP for just murder. It has to be treason or perhaps terrorism as well. Most the South American countries did away with capital punishment for murder (or altogether) during the 70s & 80s. Some still have it for treason and mass murder. I think Guyanna (sp?) is the only country that still has it for a single murder.
The woman’s father is influential and the prison system is corrupt.
