Washington state Supreme Court strikes down death penalty, citing racial biasWashington state's Supreme Court outlaws capital punishment, ruling that the death penalty is unconstitutional because it is inconsistently applied The only thing inconsistent is the thinking. If a certain % of people ( blacks ) are killing then that % should be put to death. Stop trying to be politically correct with the death penalty. You do the crime you get put to death. PERIOD.
