EDIT: The cows have unfortunately disappeared. :( In other news, New Jersey votes today to abolish the death penalty. Hoepfully this will be the spark igniting other states to follow. USA TODAY The bill passed the Legislature largely along party lines, with controlling Democrats supporting the abolition and minority Republicans opposed. "It's simply a specious argument to say that, somehow, after six millennia of recorded history, the punishment no longer fits the crime," said Assemblyman Joseph Malone, R-Burlington. Republicans had sought to retain the death penalty for those who murder law enforcement officials, rape and murder children, and terrorists, but Democrats rejected that. "A thorough examination of the state's death penalty system has revealed it for what it truly is — a colossal public policy failure that wastes taxpayers' dollars and diverts valuable resources from proven crime prevention measures," said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA. |
