The death penalty may be abolished soon in New Jersey.

According to this article, legislators in New Jersey feel that it is not deterring crime and that the death penalty is more expensive than life in prison. This will be the first time that a state has made that kind of decision since the middle 1970s.

I wonder whether this will become a trend. What do you think?
