There is no justice without life, and Mrs. Clinton needs to recognize that for her to continue to support the death penalty knowing that it is not fair and that the people at the end of it are just as broken as their victims, then we as a society are not electing the right person"
"But theres the rub: Yarris, 55, feels Clinton is the right person. Her experience in world affairs and her time as a U.S. senator and first lady make her highly qualified to serve as president, he believes. Shes just wrong on the death penalty."
very good article he criticizes Bill Clinton for flying back to Arkansas in 92' to oversee an execution
There is a Documentary on netflix called Fear of 13 about his life on Death Row
I am also against the Death Penalty and will support and vote for Clinton in Nov.

I oppose the death penalty in all instances. I couldn't be on jury where the death penalty was an option because I oppose it a priori...
However I can see the argument of leaders like John Kerry, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton who want to hold it out for mass murderers.
For me I oppose it.
