In news of capital punishment, a new report from the Death Penalty Information Center finds the number of U.S. executions in 2016 fell to its lowest level in 25 years. Texas and Georgia accounted for 16 of the year’s 20 executions. Nationwide, juries sentenced fewer people to death than in any year since 1972, when the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment. Public support for the death penalty is declining, with one poll showing support for capital punishment at less than half the population.
