Death+Penalty+-+Obama

="The death penalty does little to deter crime."=



Obama only supports the death penalty in some cases. He is pro-death penalty but he is also wanting to not execute the wrong person. Obama pushed for a bill to mandate the videotaping or interrogations and confessions while Senator, trying to reform the Illinois capital punishment system. His hardest battle in legislation is against the death penalty.

//"I believe that the death penalty is appropriate in certain circumstances. There are extraordinarily heinous crimes such as terrorism, the harm of children; in which it will be appropriate. Obviously we've had some problems with the application of the death penalty."//
