    Look at Texas.....they put in a fast lane for death row.......I do believe statistics show their murder rate has dropped some. This assertion has no stastical basis. Murder rates have declined everywhere the past 30 years. No more or less so in Texas. If rates dropped significantly more in states that had a death penatly than this would be relelvent, but that is not remotely the case. I was born in Texas 32 years ago so we might as well attribute the drop to me. One thing I really like about Geek is that he'll tell you the truth. He likes the death penalty because it gives victems revenge. At least he is honest (Geek if I am misattributing you I apologize).
