> the biggest death penalty rates, of the whole world,

aren't they beaten by Singapour on the execution per citizen ratio? They certainly were, a few years ago.

When I last read about it it wasn't mentioned, but could have happened meanwhile. In general the competition was places like China (and even then, the numbers were unfavorable).

Respect for the law is paramount and it's taken very seriously in death penalty cases in the US.

You can't say the same for all the people that die anonymously in certain countries that don't respect (or even have) laws that much.
