    In North America 2/3 countries have abolished it.

I'm just going to give you a "c'mon, really?" look here, and shake my hand disappointedly.

Canada is the only of the three that counts. Laws are only as good as their enforcement, and in Mexico the government and their proxies kill so many more people than all the death sentences in the US combined that it's laughable to claim that they have "abolished" anything. Mexico has abolished the death penalty in the same way that Iran has a free press. It's there on paper, and literally no where else.
