Have you seen the list of statements which turned out to be a list of innocent men executes for crimes which it turned out later they didn't commit for a fact?.
Gives a different side to the usual horn tooting you see on here.

And why do you think that is?

Wow, that's depressing. Interesting though.
Got a book about death row inmates at home, it lists their crime, has their mug shot, their sentence - how long they served before execution and a bit of a personal bio on it as well as their last meal. Interesting reading, it's amazing how so many of them commit the crime young and die before their my age.. saddening too. Oddly compulsive reading though as it's not just a list.
Looking at the site the OP has posted, shocked at how few whites are executed these days, the numbers are definitely dropping compared to other races (no doubt for various reasons!)

Just wondering, can EU national be put on death penalty if he committed a serious crime in the USA??
Well, that "drug trafficking" mother is still on death row somewhere (Not the USA I realise) isn't she?
I imagine the UK government would intervene a lot more successfully if it was the US mind you.

As I remember EU doesnt agree with death penalty, so I just wonder how it would play out if it were to happen.

If you are already in US custody then I would imagine that there is not a lot that the UK Government / EU would be able to do about it other than issue some form of diplomatic protest or a plea for clemency.
If you managed to make it out of the US and back to the EU before being arrested and charged then you could use the possibility of being given the death penalty to block / delay extradition to the US through the courts.

From some of those statements you get the feeling that they realised they did wrong and repented of their actions. It is horrible to imagine what must be going through their minds on those final few steps, but also it is horrible to imagine what they put their victims and their families through

One mistake in the judgement and its literally game over.
I don't agree with that

I'm against the death penalty. They should be forced to live out the rest of the miserable lives doing hard labor. Killing them is letting them off too easy - and most of them seem to think they're going to heaven anyway! Work them into the ground I say - at least get something useful out of them.

To be honest, I'm surprised so many people are that keen on the idea of the state having the power to execute citizens.
I'd have thought that the left would be against it for obvious moral reasons & the right against it due to disliking excessive government authority. (on average)
As let's face it, it's as authoritarian as you can get.

by he time they run out of appeals they have served a lot more time than a lot of people get in the uk for murder

I agree completely and don't see why it can't be done (other than troublesome human rights). Take away their PlayStation's and gym equipment, teach them how to do something useful for the government and take their pay to pay for their stay.
