Notice how every other sophisticated Western society has ditched it? But not the Americans, they special.
I'm afraid I don't know the full story about the Indiana criminals, but if three of them forced the fourth to commit the crime and he was killed because of them, then I can sort of understand the ruling.
I personally disagree with the death penalty, always have. America is slowly moving away from it as well, more and more states are outlawing it. I can understand why Americans want to keep it, some of the crimes that go on there boggle the mind.
