Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

| Message | I am not sure what to vote. I am certainly not for the cruel or inhuman treatment of suspects and convicts, but I am for capital punishment in certain case(I.E. someone burns down a school full of children, then goes on a shooting rampage, and then bombs a bus), but petty crimes in no way deserve death. I guess I'll have to support this bill. |
