"Countries and states which have capital punishment have a much higher rate of murder and crime than countries that do not, so that makes sense to me, and the moral question - I struggle with it morally"

In this quote, Charlize Theron is expressing her belief that nations and states that have capital penalty, or the death sentence, tend to have greater rates of murder and crime compared to those that do not have this kind of punishment. She discovers this correlation to be logical and makes good sense to her. However, she also acknowledges the moral problem surrounding capital penalty and confesses to having problem with it on a personal level. This quote highlights the complex and questionable nature of the death penalty and how it can be viewed in a different way by individuals.
