Too Broken to Fix: An In-Depth Look at America's Outlier Death Penalty Counties
"A new report from the Fair Punishment Project at Harvard Law School
offers an in-depth look at how the death penalty is operating in the
small handful of counties across the country that are still using it. Of
the 3,143 county or county equivalents in the United States, only 16—or
one half of one percent—imposed five or more death sentences between
2010 and 2015. Part I of the report, titled Too Broken to Fix: An In-depth Look at America’s Outlier Death Penalty Counties, examined
10 years of court opinions and records from eight of these 16 “outlier
counties,” including Caddo Parish (LA), Clark (NV), Duval (FL), Harris (TX),
Maricopa (AZ), Mobile (AL), Kern (CA) and Riverside (CA). The report
also analyzed all of the new death sentences handed down in these
counties since 2010. Click here to read the report."
