2) Capital punishment does not deter crime
3) States cannot prevent execution of innocent people
4) Race plays a role in who lives and dies
5) Capital punishment is applied arbitrarily
6) The United States keeps company with the top human rights abusers as a country that employs executions
7) Poor legal representation is a persistent problem
8) Life without parole is an appropriate alternative to capital punishment
9) Capital punishment goes against almost every major religion
10) Millions of dollars could be diverted to helping the families of murder victims
