Second Hour: Death Penalty


    On the next Talk of the Nation we'll talk with two federal judges about death penalty sentencing. Critics say the problem is not the death penalty itself, but the inconsistent way it is imposed. How effective can a legal punishment be when it is enforced differently by our judges? And how does a judge's personal opinion impact the ruling? That's next on Talk of the Nation, from NPR news.
