No, only the inner cities have such a high murder rate, everywhere else is low.
So those girls who were raped and murdered recently here killed one of the murders family members?
So Hitler had family members killed by the Jews?
So Germany killed Jews because Jews killed Germans?
I don't beleive it and you don't beleive it, stop talking out of your ass.

In May 1990, Jesse Tafero was executed in Florida. His case gained notoriety because the electric chair malfunctioned and his head caught on fire before he died.47 Two years later, Jesse's co-defendant, Sonia Jacobs, who had been convicted and sentenced to death on exactly the same evidence that sent Tafero to his death, was released after a U.S. Court of Appeals concluded that her conviction was based on prosecutorial suppression of exculpatory evidence and perjury by a prosecution witness (who was the real killer).48 Jacobs now lives in Los Angeles, and in early 1996, a television movie of her case was aired.49 But Tafero is dead. Had he been alive, the evidence that led to Jacobs's release would have led to his release, too. |

Between 1972 and the end of 1996, sixty-eight death row inmates in the nation were released because of doubts about their guilt.52 These releases do not prove that the system works, as some defenders of the death penalty would argue.
....
In virtually all of these cases, the defendants were released only after an expensive and exhausting uphill struggle, unsupported by public funds or public officials, and almost always fiercely resisted by the prosecution and ignored by those with the power to commute a death sentence.
Some of these prisoners, now free, came within a few days of being executed. Randall Adams, sentenced to death in Texas in 1977 and exonerated in 1989, came to within one week of his execution.54 Andrew Mitchell, sentenced to death in Texas in 1981, came within five days of death by lethal injection before being vindicated in 1993.55 Two half-brothers in Florida, William Jent and Ernest Miller, came within sixteen hours of being executed before they were released from prison in 1988 |

So?? The system includes more than just the government. The system includes the people of this nation, many of whom spend a lot of time poring over DP cases looking for reasons to doubt their guilt. I am glad that we have people like this (many are anti-DP, but that is good). If we did not have them, I would be Anti-DP.
I know that it is a little subtle for those in other counties, but it seems to work pretty well.
