Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that more than 50 countries retain the death penalty for ordinary crimes?

Yes. A Wikipedia country-by-country reference states that 54 countries retain capital punishment in law and practice, which exceeds the claim's threshold of more than 50. A separate reference notes that some countries still retain and use the death penalty but gives no count.
