Death Penalty Watch
Death sentences reached modern-day low in 2004 : The number of people sentenced to death last year fell to the lowest level since the Supreme Court reinstated the penalty in 1976. There were 125 people sent to death row in 2004, down from 144 the previous year and the sixth consecutive annual decline, according to figures compiled by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. In 1998, 300 people received death sentences. To read a complete article about this trend, go here: http://www.demaction.org/dia/organizations/ncadp/news.jsp?key=1376
