I support the death penalty in theory, however in application it is seriously flawed. The death penalty in the US is not applied equally across the boundaries of gender or race. Women rarely get the death penalty for crimes that a man would certainly be put to death for (the Susan Smith case is a prime example) as well as several more minorities are put to death than caucasians. I also believe that we ought to restore public executions, sell tickets, and broadcast them via pay per view. I don't understand the logic that we need to keep the actual execution a dirty little secret, I say let anybody over 18 who desires to watch an execution, have the opportunity to do so.
