Such a system results in the execution of only one-third of the convicted murderers facing the death pen alty, Pollit reported. The panel also reached agree ment that most murders are “crimes of passion” resulting in the death of someone dear to the criminal. “These criminals would not commit murder again if set loose immediately. It is only the cold-blooded murderers who are executed,” Pollit remarked. “The death penalty creates an allusion that” we’re dealing with a problem, which we’re not,” Clark stated in closing. “Capital punishment is not a major prob lem of criminal law. It is more darn trouble than it is worth and is expensive in the adminis tering of justice.” He added that the burden of the problem should be put to the advocates of capital punishment, and to have them state why we should retain the death penalty. Letters... (Cou I in ited fro in page 2) about only because of books.
