Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1976, there´s 35 states, plus the federal government, that still have the death penalty, although it´s been proven that states with the death penalty don´t have lower murder rates.

The south is the region of the country executes the most people, Texas being the state that has executed more people since 1976, and Florida the one that has exonerated the most death row, inmates.

Since 1976 there have been 163 death row exonerations in 28 different states.
