This episode concludes a two-part podcast over Capital punishment. It examines the Pew Research poll about the sentence, including what segments of society favor and what segments oppose the death sentence. There is an examination of the Supreme Court case of Furman v Georgia which momentarily halted Capital Punishment. We also look at the efforts of the ACLU to end the sentencing once and for all. Finally, the episode focuses on how other countries in the world handle the situation. Also, for weird laws we identify the states that still have the use of a firing squad on the books.
