The death penalty isn't the problem and never has. There are far too many people who have no place in society and there is zero benefit to society to continue their existence.
That being said, abuse by the legal system of those who cannot afford to defend themselves properly has gone on for far too long and its not just a Southern thing. From the bail bond market to the plea bargain junket of Federal Courts, justice isn't the goal, successful prosecution is.
So until the goal posts are moved we are not going to fix this situation.
