Mexico Ends the Death Penalty

Mexico Ends the Death Penalty

Nice to know we live between two civilized countries:

On December 9th, President Vicente Fox signed off on constitutional amendments that abolished capital punishment in both civil courts and military codes. Executions in Mexico have been suspended for decades - the last Mexican to be executed went before a military firing squad in 1961...

Mexico still has 46 citizens awaiting imminent execution on Death Row.

In the United States.
