America's Killing Question (1992x28)

Air date: Aug 03, 1992

Supporters of the death penalty in America used to claim it was a deterrent to violent crime. Now, more and more, they support it simply as a form of revenge. John Ware reports on how, in pursuit of retribution, America is putting to death juveniles, the mentally retarded, the insane, and even the innocent.
