“I
believe that the death penalty is the ultimate deterrent to violent
crime…period. I stood up to the liberal elite when they came to our state
(Alabama) and tried to eliminate the death penalty, we won, they lost. I’m
using the death penalty to keep Alabama family safe from the most violent
criminals, why? It’s because it works. Recent studies have said that every time
an execution is carried out in the United States, up to 75 murders are
prevented the next year.” [Pushing

"It sends all the wrong

sends the signal that you can kill and walk away and not face the kind of
justice that you ought to pay for those kinds of acts." [18
