Cornell Law School's Sandra Babcock and Jindal Global Law School's Khagesh Gautam join us for an episode on the death penalty in India and the United States.

Both India and the United States are not on that list.  We discuss the state of the death penalty today, cover some contemporary debates, and ask the most important question: Do we even need it?
