The Death Penalty Evolution and Opinion Across States
A Harper's Weekly summary argues the death penalty will vanish from law as jurisprudence shifts. It cites inquiries to 40 state attorneys general showing mixed views on deterrence, with abolition in Michigan Wisconsin Rhode Island and long-ago repeal elsewhere. It notes governors’ refusals, juries’ power to commute, and questions about consent and public policy. The piece concludes punishment is unnecessary as most crimes occur despite capital punishment and deterrence fails when crime is spur of moment or influenced by external factors.
