It is going to make crime sky rocket. I hope they do abolish the death penalty, then see what hell on earth will come about........ then they will take yrs and yrs to have to get it back in to the system.
So idiots go for it! Try to get them saved that's good but for the ones who don't get saved, do they actually deserve to live any more after killing their innocent victims???? NO I say not. Just an american citizen.

Roberts, a Democrat like Corzine and Codey, called the death penalty "flawed public policy" that is costly, discriminatory, immoral and cruel.
"The consequences are irreparable if mistakes are made," he said.
A Senate committee approved abolishing the death penalty in May, but the Senate didn't give the bill further consideration. The bill stems from a January report by a special state commission that found the death penalty was a more expensive sentence than life in prison and didn't deter murder.
The proposal hasn't sat well with relatives of the victims of those on death row.
Sharon Hazard-Johnson, whose parents were killed in their Pleasantville home in 2001 by Brian Wakefield, said lawmakers should focus on streamlining the state's death penalty law. She challenged them to put the question to voters.
"The majority would say that they are for the death penalty when it fits the crime," Hazard-Johnson said.
