Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Indeed, capital punishment says more about us as a nation that it does about those we punish.
39% : Many would argue this case is the exact reason we need the death penalty: to punish the worst of the worst crimes.
29% : While the acts committed by Tsarnaev were indeed horrific, we embrace the thinking espoused by then-candidate Joe Biden, who pledged to eliminate the death penalty -- a process plagued by racial disparities and wrongful convictions of the innocent.
