 is poised to become the 18th state to outlaw the death penalty after the state legislature voted by a strong margin to do so. The governor says he will sign the bill, which would commute the sentences of those on death row to life in prison without parole.

Maryland’s General Assembly on Friday completed its repeal of the death penalty, nearly 40 years after the U.S. Supreme Court restored capital punishment.

The House of Delegates’ 82-56 vote followed Senate approval last week.

Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat who proposed the repeal, will sign the measure into law next month, his office said Friday afternoon. That will make Maryland the 18th state to overturn capital punishment since it was reintroduced in 1976…

The governor, who pushed the repeal since taking office in 2007, said the General Assembly’s action ended a policy that “is proven not to work.”

“Evidence shows that the death penalty is not a deterrent, it cannot be administered without racial bias, and it costs three times as much as life in prison without parole,” he said. “What’s more, there is no way to reverse a mistake if an innocent person is put to death.”

I’ve never understood how killing people who kill people showed that killing people was wrong.

Punishment equals the crime – an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, life for a life. Equal value punishment and criminal act although the criminal takes innocent lives and the court sentences a guilty one.

See also do unto others, karma and basic notions of justice.

Does that help any?

Empathy with others is good but here the people we should try to empathise with and support most are the victims of crime and NOT the perpetrators of it.

Plus it has the same sort of preventative function that shooting a rabid dog has – a rabid dog is destroyed to ensue it never again poses a threat. Same applies for the human equivalents whoare so messed up in their heads that they will *always* pose such a threat again eg,. serial killers, rapists and child molesters. We all made permanently safer and our minds put at ease by the removal of particular dangerous threats to our lives.

Sometimes, hell most of the time, “rehabilitation” doesn’t really work. For the criminal as well as the victims of crime. A quick death sentence could also arguably

 Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat who proposed the repeal, will bless the measure into law following month, his agency said Friday afternoon. That will make Maryland the 18th state to revoke capital punishment since it was reintroduced in 1976 … 

 The governor, who pushed the repeal since taking office in 2007, said the General Assembly ’s action ended a policy that “ is proven not to work. ” 

 “ Evidence shows that the death penalty is not a deterrent, it cannot be administered without racial bias, and it costs three fourth dimension as much as life sentence in prison without password, ” he say. “ What ’s more, there is no way to turn back a error if an innocent person is put to death. ” 

 I ’ve never sympathize how killing people who kill people testify that killing people was wrong.
