Justice can not be served until the debate on capital punishment is resolved and
             all states have come to agree that the death penalty is the best way to stop crime
             completely. "The bottom line is, one method of execution is just as brutal and as barbaric
             as the next," says Mr. Breedlove of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty.
             This comes straight from the mouth of a member of a national organization against
             capital punishment. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Third
             Edition defines execution as The act or an instance of putting to death or being put to
             So if Breedlove's words hold true, then what he believes is that someone going
             out and killing someone is barbaric. In a sense isn't that what he's saying, that one way of

             families that are broken apart now because of the merciless acts of these criminals. Think

             strapped to the seats. Think of how they must have felt as the cold water started to fill the
             cabin of the car, and then ultimately drown them. Barbaric is exactly the word I would
             use to describe her actions. But yet, the jury rejected the death penalty and chose a life
             sentence instead. Mr. Smith, the father of the two children, broken up from the ruling
             said "Me and my family are disappointed that the death penalty was not the verdict, but it
             wasn't our choice. They returned a verdict they thought was justice" (Bragg, pg. 1+).
             But was it justice that she was not put to death for killing her two children. How
             could someone possibly let her off the hook of such a crime. They said it ...
