The Death Penalty in New England
AlterNet has an interesting article entitled Death Comes To New England about the upcoming execution in Connecticut. I read in a newspaper this morning that it was rescheduled to Monday. Here's a blurb:
In Connecticut, 70 percent favor the death penalty for Ross, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. For some death penalty supporters, that illustrates that a 45-year lapse since the last execution may be too long a period. "I do not understand why the state of Connecticut is so long in providing the rule of law," says Dianne Clements, the president of Justice For All, a Texas-based victim-advocacy group. "In a state with death penalty on the books, juries have found for death as punishment and yet there has been no execution in 40 years."
