Hickenlooper Would Suspend Death Penalty

John Hickenlooper said that he would suspend the death penalty if he were elected president, The Hill reports.

Said Hickenlooper: “It’s expensive, it prolongs misery, and the worst thing, it is random. Depending on where that crime occurs and, in many cases, whether the killer is African American or Latino, that has a lot to do with who gets tried on a death penalty charge. The random injustice of that is something this country should never stand for.”
