    Capital punishment, or the death penalty, is a legal process in which a person is put to death as a punishment for a crime by the government of a nation. The United States is in the minority group of nations that uses the death penalty. There are thirty-three states that allow capital punishment and seventeen states that abolished it (Death Penalty Information Center).

    The execution in May 1989 involving Stephen McCoy is one in several examples of these defective results. According to witnesses, McCoy reacted violently to the lethal injection given to him.
