Default Re: Capital Punishment For Murderers

Murder rates have declined since capital punishment was reinstated. That's evidence isn't it? I somehow have the feeling that irregardless of what evidence you're presented with regarding the deterrence factor it won't change your mind. This seems to be a prevalent viewpoint. If you could be convinced that for every execution three less murders (just throwing out a number) are committed would you change your mind? I have my doubts.
