Let's talk about the death penalty. Recently Hillary Clinton said that she hopes the Supreme Court will do away with it because states have done a poor job administering it. But Clinton admitted she feels the death penalty has a merit for federal terrorism cases. Critics pounced, calling the stance inconsistent.
Here in Western New York, the death penalty hasn't been an option, but some police chiefs want that to change. We talk about its history, and its future. Our guests:
- Bill Easton, local attorney
- Chief Jim VanBrederode, Gates Police Department
- Andy Sperr, father of AJ Sperr, a state trooper killed in the line of duty in 2006
