Background info: On September 21st a man named Troy Davis was executed for a 1989 murder of a Georgia police officer. Mr. Davis maintained his innocence since his conviction. Many people believe there was too much doubt of his guilt especially after 7 of the 9 witnesses that testified against him recanted their stories saying they were coerced. Most states in the U. S. have the death penalty (16 states do not have it.)
Should the United States get rid of the death penalty? Why or why not?
