Death Penalty

Back in 1993, Nathan Dunlap killed four employees at a Colorado Chuck E. Cheese restaurant. He was convicted and sentenced to the death penalty in 1996. Today, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper delayed the execution and gave Dunlap an indefinite reprieve.

According to a new poll from the Pew Research Center, a solid but decreasing majority of Americans support the death penalty. Of the 2001 adults polled, 63 percent were in favor of capital punishment, whereas 31 percent were opposed.
