Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

US HEADS LIST OF EXECUTIONERS
The death penalty has been used against 848 people in the United States since the Supreme Court reinstated it in 1976. Seventy-one people were executed in the United States last year alone--the third-highest number of executions in the world after China and Iran. So far this year, 28 people in this country have been killed by lethal injection or the electric chair. The United States also ranks first in the number of people on death row--more than 3,500 at present.
