"If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world remains the same."

What is our podcast?
In our podcast, two of us are Pro Death Penalty, and two of us are Anti Death Penalty. We have two interviews asking people what they think of the prop. We discuss Julian's quote and if it is true or not.
What are the props about?
Proposition 62 is campaigning to replace the death penalty with the maximum punishment of life in prison without parole. Proposition 66 is trying to speed up the procedures for the death penalty by limiting the appeals (objections) process, and requiring inmates on death row to work and pay restitution to the victims families. Usually when prosecution wants to sentence the death penalty, the jury and the judge decide to go through with the punishment, and it must be unanimous. Nobody on death row has been executed in 10 years, because of appeals and the recent problems with lethal injections.
