(41) The Last To Die

Of the 50 states in the US, 23 of them have outright abolished the death penalty. Three others have a moratorium on it. While I personally believe it should be reinstated everywhere and kept as an option, many politicians disagree and have decided to take it off the table entirely. On today's episode, we're looking at the last people executed in states where capital punishment has been abolished.
