Why is the United States the only modern, developed, democratic country with regular use of the death penalty?

Good question. I was hoping someone would address that question when I posted the facts. In case someone missed them, here they are again:
- In 2006, 91 per cent of all known executions took place in China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan and the USA.
- Ten countries since 1990 are known to have executed 58 prisoners who were under 18 years old at the time of the crime – Afghanistan, China, Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, USA and Yemen.
