No-risk death penalty? There is no such thing

From the Springfield (MA) Republican:

States with the death penalty have higher murder rates than states that do not have the death penalty.

Romney believes he has crafted a death penalty bill that virtually guarantees no innocent person will ever be executed - the "gold standard" for capital punishment, as he called it.

This is fool's gold. No death penalty is foolproof, even with multiple safeguards in place. Even the governor acknowledged that the safeguards in his bill would not completely rule out wrongful convictions.

At a time when the state can barely fund schools, it is difficult to argue that the state should spend money so the governor can make Massachusetts a "model for the nation" on capital punishment.

Lawmakers should reject the governor's proposal
