69. absolutely

what bugs me about death pentaly proponents is the characterization that death penalty opponents are "soft on crime" because they oppose the death penalty. I have no problem with a murder rotting in prison for the rest of his life.

My beef with the death penalty is that a certain percentage of cases, albeit a small percentage, turn out wrongful convictions. The Rolando Cruz case in Aurora IL should be enough to shock anyone into taking a serious look at capital punishment.
