A panel in Massachusetts has put together a plan for a capital punishment system it calls "as infallible as humanly possible." The Governor of Massachusetts established the commission to explore bringing capital punishment back to Massachusetts. From the spin in the articles on this commission, it sounds like there is a good chance that Massachusetts could see the return of the death penalty. If so, that would reduce the number of death-free jurisdictions in the United States to 11.
