Richardson, the governor of New Mexico, announced the abolition of the death penalty in the state on March 18, 2009 local time, which immediately triggered a huge controversy. Different human rights organizations demonstrated outside the state government, with supporters' voices and opponents' abusive words.
Richardson said that the reason for abolishing the death penalty was that there were many imperfections in the current judicial system, which could easily lead to incidents of reckless human life. The trial of death penalty cases in the United States is very cautious and time-consuming, which has caused considerable economic losses.
It is reported that 36 of the 50 states in the United States still retain the death penalty, and nearly two-thirds of the American people also support the heaviest punishment. But apart from New Mexico, Montana Kansas Maryland Other states are also actively considering abolishing the death penalty to cope with the financial crisis. [4]
