S4:E4 The Death Penalty

Original Air Date: Apr 17, 2006

In episode 404, studies show that there is no deterrent effect to state executions, and DNA evidence has so far exonerated 122 men formerly on death row. The magicians ask why our government still supports the archaic, cruel and costly death penalty.
