Religion and culture behind Texas execution tally - Yahoo! News

Religion and culture behind Texas execution tally - Yahoo! News: "The longer trend is a decline of homicides over the past 30 years with a peak of 2,652 in 1991 in Texas and 1,407 in 2005. And fewer murders should translate into fewer death sentences." Hmm. Can't it also be said that fewer murders are because of more executions?? Oh, wait, that wouldn't follow the action line, conservatives are mean.
