True, and I think New York was #2 on the population for a while but slipped recently. I believe New York has reinstated the death penalty but hasn't had it long enough for anybody to run out of appeals yet.
Personally, I'm still undecided as to whether I'm for or against the death penalty, I just like messing with numbers
