Thousands will die. They are victims of senseless murder, but should the
             murderous felons die as well? Capital Punishment is a major controversy. Debating
             whether they receive execution or spend the rest of their ruined lives rotting in a jail cell

             death penalty, and women the vote was 74%.. White populations vote 81% for capital
             punishment and blacks only 53% (Doan, 2). This information means that the general
             public will resolve to end the lives of these killers. By offering an alternative, these
