Blue- Yes
Red- No
Would you consider the death penalty as "cruel and unusual" punishment?
8 people decided yes, 2 no. I believe that this ratio came about because many of these people realize that they wouldn't want to receive this punishment for themselves.
Would you agree to watch someone receive the death penalty?
0 people said yes. 10 people said no. I believe that the number of people that said "no" was so high because they feel that watching this take place would be horrific to see.
Should we have the right to choose if someone lives or dies?
2 people said yes, 8 people said no. I believe that this was so becausue of religious reasons.
