The United States is after China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, the fifth most active country in sanctioning capital punishment - the execution of a convicted criminal by the State. Between January 2003 and December 2004, 124 men were executed by the people of the United States for the stated purpose of deterrence and retribution. The Supreme Court of the United States has said that its citizens know almost nothing about capital punishment. Reading the horrific crimes described in this volume, the second in a series of books documenting the most recent U.S. capital crime and punishment cases, will help you decide if the U.S. government's promise of justice for a life wrongfully taken is being kept.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Another best book on true crime and the ultimate punishment!,
By Chris (Sunnyvale, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death Penalty USA: 2003 - 2004 (Hardcover)
Delfino and Day's second book about capital crime and capital punishment is just as good as their first, Death Penalty USA 2005 - 2006, and maybe even better. It has the same short story format and no fewer creepy stories of some really scary killers. If you are into true crime with all the gory details, you can't go wrong reading this book. Absolutely awesome and guaranteed to give you sleepless nights!
