Georgia, the death penalty was banned because it was being sentenced without standards or order. Even though that Supreme Court case was overturn four years later, the problem still exists. A man who is convicted of murder in Texas (a state with over 250 executions and 450 more on Death Row last year) is more likely to be sentenced to death than a man who is convicted of murder in Connecticut (a state where the death penalty has been legal for over 7 years and there has not been one execution.)

" People who are able to pay for their own attorneys, as well as those who are able to afford bail, are more likely not to be sentenced to death. Julie Welsh was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, her father, Bud"tms first reaction was for the person who committed the crime to be killed, but later realized that revenge is not the answer.
