-Caveat Lector- CourtTV has all sorts of info on death penalty. Although there is a disproportionate number of blacks prosecuted and sentenced to death, the actual description of the person most often executed is "Poor, white, Southerner." The lack of representation by attorney is alarming for this region. Lots waive their right to appeal and feel hopeless. They are not a politically correct group and there is no support for them. I think James Earl Ray was also in this category. And regionally more states practice execution on a routine basis. See link below to go to CourtTV Death Penalty Special Report which will take you to more links. Depressing. Haven't enough people been killed already? I do not know if I am for or against the death penalty as I keep changing my mind. Maybe I am for it in theory but do not have the stomach for it in practice.
