Second debate section at bottom of page with improper citations

[edit]

Why is there a second "debate" section all the way at the bottom of the page with additional references? Also, none of the references in this additional section are cited properly.

Ohio Moratorium

[edit]

In the second graphic on this page, Ohio is marked as red (active death penalty state). It should instead be marked as blue (formal moratorium). Governor Mike DeWine has explicitly said that no executions will take place in Ohio until a new lethal injection protocol or execution method determined to be constitutionally acceptable by the courts is adopted by the state. To enforce this policy, he has repeatedly been rescheduling executions to later dates while the new protocol or method is developed. This constitutes a governor imposed moratorium.

Renaming page 'Death penalty in the US'?

[edit]

Capital punishment is not the most common term for this concept. Death penalty seems much more widely used (at least in the US) and capital punishment sounds like a sentence for bank fraud if one wasn't familiar with the term. could not find discussion on the name in the archives on this page Superb Owl (talk) 17:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abolitionist States

[edit]

It would be great if there was a section of the states that have abolished the death penalty and the year in which they did it, thanks and good job Mar9112 (talk) 02:16, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
