Default Re: Two Death Penalty Questiosns

For religious reasons, I am against death penalty.

In answer to your question, as close to zero as possible. IMHO the current judicial system meets this accuracy standard for sentences of life in prison, and that of death. However, many more minorities, IMHO, are prone to recieve the harsher sentence.

Why can't USA , who want to support civil rights worldwide, concede on this issue?

Another injustice, although I don't have facts, I would bet that many innocent people plead guilty to long sentences (say 20 years) when procescures say , "We will take the death penalty off the table", giving up their rights to a trial by jury.
