Death penalty in the news ...

... sort of ...


Captain, 3 crew members charged with murder
 
Watch this video

They could face the death penalty


Another 11 crew members have been indicted on charges of abandonment and violating a ship safety act in connection with the Sewol ferry sinking, the prosecutor's office says.FULL STORY
 
Yes CNN's top story is about how a crew ship captain in South Korea could be executed.
 
And then its next story is this one:

I wonder what is making CNN cover these cases. Is there no death penalty news in the US that is deemed worthy of national attention?
