The topic of capital punishment often evokes strong emotion. Some say the idea of condemning a person to death is the only way those who commit certain crimes can repent. Others say only God should be able to say who lives and dies. In this special, KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas and KSL at Night host Adam Gardiner sit down with various religious leaders and scholars from around Utah to get their religion's perspective on the death penalty. We hear from Very Reverend Martin Diaz, Rector at the The Cathedral of the Madeleine; Rabbi Avremi Zippel of Chabad Lubavitch of Utah; and Professor Patrick Mason, Professor of Religious Studies and History, Leonard J. Arrington Chair of Mormon History and Culture, Director - Religious Studies Program at Utah State University.
Hosted by Greg Skordas and Adam Gardiner; produced by Becky Bruce, Noah Giles, and Andy Cupp.
