- 151: Capital Punishment: Against
- ... Mistakes may be made and no one can bring another human back to life. Juries are often white and this may lead to racial decisions. Of the 144 executions since the 1976 reinstatement of the death penalty in the U.S., not one white person has been executed for killing a black. Of the 16,000 executions in U.S. history, only 30 cases involved a white sentenced for killing a black. Therefore, no one, including the government, should have the power to tell another human that they must be put to death, no matter what they commit. Today's government and justice system is not as efficient as it should be. If a mistake is made in an execution sentence and an innocent person dies, no ...

- 155: The Case For Capital Punishmen
- ... the rape of children is particularly heinous. I will argue that all persons convicted of the crime of murder or the rape of a child under ten years of age should be given a manditory death penalty. Capital punishment is not only justifiable but is morally correct and should be the mandatory sentence for such crimes once an individual is found guilty. It would be neither unjust nor immoral to execute such ... discriminatory application of the law. Abolitionists also argue that we should base on justice system on reform and rehabilitation. First, the possibility of convicting an innocent person is often cited as an argument that the death penalty is unjust. One Internet source indicates that 350 people were wrongly convicted of homicide or capital rape from 1900- 1985. (2) (It should be noted that the article does not specify how many ...

- 158: Capital Punishment
- Capital Punishment Capital punishment is the lawful infliction of death as a punishment and since ancient times it has been used for a wide variety of offences. The Bible prescribes death(see exodus 21:12 and deuteronomy 22:13) for murder and many other crimes, including kidnapping and witchcraft. By 1500 in England, only major felonies carried the death penalty - treason, murder, larceny, burglary, rape, and arson. By 1700, however, Parliament had enacted many new capital offences, and hundreds of persons were being put to death each year. Reform of the death penalty ...
- 159: To Kill A Killer
- ... that killing people is wrong?" Suddenly there was a wild riot of arguments between us. Even though on that day I was out numbered two to three, I was and today still am against the death penalty as a deterrent to crime. The death penalty is not an effective way to punish a criminal. Even states that use the death penalty seem to have a higher number of homicides than states that do not use it. It does ...
- 160: Capital Punishment is Murder
- ... no two ways to look at it. When one human loses their life due entirely to another human, what would it be called beyond murder? Capital Punishment does just that. These people that are on death row in the United States are criminals. There is no disputing that fact. They have been tried an convicted. It is not what they have done that is up for discussion so much as how they are to be punished. The way that these criminals are executed is morally incorrect. There is actually a choice on how the convicted criminal is to be put to death. He, or even she, can chose anything from hanging, to being shot or electrocuted, or to lethal injection although each individual has a preferred method of execution.(King 26) These executions are jokes. They turn ... into giant rallies where activists and protesters thrive These executions themselves are also barbaric and inhumane. In some states they actually allow the families of the one to be killed to watch! The criminals on death row actually become the victims in these "circus style killings" that the judicial system likes to call "justice." As for those who carry out this so called "justice," do they not become the killers ...
