USA - Hillary Clinton is partially against death penalty.

Hillary Clinton is partially against death penalty. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday night explained her rationale for continuing to support the death penalty in certain situations. "What I hope the Supreme Court will do is make it absolutely clear that any state that continues capital punishment either must meet the highest standards of evidentiary proof of effective assistance of consult or they cannot continue it," Clinton said during the Democratic primary debate. "Because that to me is the real dividing line. I have much more confidence in the federal system and I do reserve it for really heinous crimes in the federal system, like terrorism," she said. "I have strong feelings about that. I thought it was appropriate after a very thorough trial that Timothy McVeigh receive the death penalty for blowing up the federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people including 19 children in a daycare center." But Clinton also offered some caveats. "So I do for very limited, particularly heinous crimes believe it is an appropriate punishment," Clinton said. "But I deeply disagree with the way that too many states still are implementing it. So if it were possible the federal from the state system by the Supreme court that would, I think, be an appropriate outcome."
