It is not clear at first why anyone other than academic lawyers and priests would care about capital punishment. Since the death penalty was re-instated by SCOTUS in 1979, there have only been 1098 executions. When one compares this to the 42,000 people who die every year of car crashes, there would seem to be more pressing concerns. Yet capital punishment ranks along with abortion, gun control and gay marriage as a powerful fault line on the liberal-conservative divide.
