A Case for the Death Penalty

like the death penalty, but it must be available to punish crimes of murders, cases in

which any other form of punishment would be inadequate. There are times when a crime

is so bad that all of society, all who call themselves human, are repulsed. These are the

times when the death penalty must be upheld, and enforced. There is no point in paying

thousands of dollars to keep people alive who have multiple life sentences and no chance

of parole. We are simply wasting our money and filling our prisons with people who

need to receive the punishment that our courts doled out. We are constantly asking the

. . .
Then we warehouse these people,

side-by-side, with people who do have a chance of being rehabilitated. Most other countries have repealed it as

a form of punishment. The issue of whether to put

criminals to death or not still seems to be a moral issue. We

seem to fluctuate over the years in enforcing the death penalty. A lot of these

people end up dead at the hands of these criminals. Others argue that the death penalty is simply “state sanctioned murder. What part of this makes sense? We

need to take responsibility for running our society and just do what the courts ask. Then you have to make a promise to yourself that you will see to it that

this conviction and sentencing sticks. We now

seem to be swaying a little more toward capital punishment in the last two decades. ”

Many people in our country believe that capital punishment s not the answer to

the problem of crime.

If you were the judge, what would you do with the evidence? How would rule?

Would you have to petition the court to remove the case from your docket? Could you…

would you make a fair decision about your friend? You surely must ask yourself why

this man was out on the streets in the first place? You next have to ask yourself if you are

strong enough, courageous enough to make the right decision, so that no one else will

lose a loved one.

Studies have been done to try and link the administering of the death penalty with the

lowered crime rates, but they have been inconclusive.
