Texas is a leader in both murders and executions. They did it to 40 people last year alone. The official methods left are lethal injection, now the most popular, gas, and electrocution. Hanging is still legal in Delaware, New Hampshire and Washington. Idaho, Oklahoma and Utah still have firing squads.
Some states give the prisoner a choice between being fried, poisoned or shot.
I'd rather be surprised. Revenge is an emotion we all reluctantly enjoy and capital punishment is society's ultimate revenge. If, as we all hope, people are gradually becoming more civilized, maybe capital punishment will soon be a spectacle of our less civilized past. Have a nice day. MMI Viacom Internet Services Inc.
