WASHINGTON 鈥 Cassandra Stubbs, director of the Capital Punishment Project of the 老澳门开奖结果, had this comment in response to the Supreme Court鈥檚 decision in Glossip v. Gross:

鈥淭oday鈥檚 5-4 decision ignores the evidence and endorses a state鈥檚 right to torture people to death absent any other alternative. This reading of the Constitution cannot and should not stand. As powerfully set forth in the dissent, capital punishment in the United States is unreliable and arbitrary, racially biased and geographically skewed. Much of America has turned away from the death penalty, leaving only a handful of counties insisting on putting people to death. The time has come to end this nation鈥檚 disastrous experiment with capital punishment.鈥
