i think death penalty is a waste of time as they should be put to work making money for the victims familys and seeling the product in shops and other venues and let the criminal make the money for innocent and let them live it up as deathis to easy punishment.

I do not know the precise percentage and i think you question really depends on the jurisdiction you are looking to. Overall, the ACLU states the following:
The proportion of first-degree murderers who are sentenced to death is small, and of this group, an even smaller proportion of people are executed. Although death sentences in the mid-1990s have increased to about 300 per year, this is still only about one percent of all homicides known to the police. Of all those convicted on a charge of criminal homicide, only 3 percent - about 1 in 33 - are eventually sentenced to death.

Not enough! I agree with Texas. Put in an express lane to kill all of the people that cross the line and take away other peoples rights. Any one that murders should get the death penalty. It is a proven fact that when the death penalty is in-forced the crime rate goes down.
