Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your note - I am sorry if you are related to Ryan Pinto or any of
the murderers on death row in Goa.
The Death Penalty by public execution of murderers has proven to be an
effective deterrent in the middle east (esp Saudi Arabia with less than 0.4
murders per 100000 heads of population) - India has 10 times more at 4 per
100000 heads of population) and the US has its lowest murder rate thus far
(thanks to President George W Bush and his unwavering support for the death
penalty).
Best Regards,
Carmo
