Abolish Death Penalty

The most important reason why the death penalty should not be abolished is because we need capital punishment for those cases in which a killer is beyond redemption. “Some claim lift without parole is an appropriate alternative to the death penalty” (23). Others say if you kill, you should be killed or if you commit a crime that is bad that you should be killed. “According to Gallup polls, 60 percent of Americans support the death penalty for a person convicted of murder” (23). Therefore more than half of Americans are for the death penalty/capital

Elliot Spitzer states, “Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don 't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.” Although the Death Penalty is meant to kill the ones that have murdered, many innocent people have been executed due to the ignorance of facts during trial. Since this has come to me and my partner’s attention, we are resolved that The United States should change its penal code to abolish the death penalty. The Death Penalty is execution following someone’s conviction of murder or any other serious crime. Abolish is to end the observance or effect of. The Penal Code is a set of criminal laws of a particular country, society, etc. Our courts are not steady, which is why we need to abolish the death penalty.

I would like about whether or not the United States should abolish the death penalty. The United States should not abolish this because those who commit a capital felony which is punishable by imprisonment or death, should serve a capital punishment which is the death penalty. Many believe that certain crimes such as rape and murder should punishable by the death penalty. Although many also see it as inhumane, many also view murder and rape as inhumane. One can view this as part of Hammburi’s Code law that states “An eye for an eye.” Capital punishment has ben around for thousands of years; beginning even before the ancient Greeks and Romans. At that time, there were many different ways to carry out capital punishment such as, beheading, stoning and electrocution (PBS).

The death penalty is one of the worst punishments for criminals. There are so many problems rooted in the death penalty.I believe we should get rid of the death penalty because they could be killing an innocent person that has been convicted. We should also get rid of the death penalty because killing someone is more expensive than keeping them in jail for life.People on death row are promised a quick death not a slow and painful one but there have been times when prisoners are taking longer to die and its more painful than it should be.

The future of the death penalty lies unclear in the cross-country battle over whether or not it should be abolished. The death penalty should in fact be abolished because of the extreme costs and painful time involved to house and execute inmates, the indecision of which method of execution is the most humane, and the increasing number of innocent inmates being wrongfully executed.

The death penalty is a very controversial topic in America today, the question is do we keep the death penalty or abolish it for life imprisonment without parole. America should abolish the death penalty and should stick to life imprisonment. One reason is that the death penalty is not undoable once your dead there is no going back. There has been many miscarried death penalties in the U.S., and these mistakes cause a lot of sorrow and depression for families and their loved ones. The death penalty is also too expensive. It costs America less to keep an inmate in jail for life than it does to execute them. This is why America should abolish the death penalty.

In 2015, twenty-eight people were executed in the United States. The use of the death penalty should be abolished. The death penalty in the United States is too expensive, inconsistent in rulings, and its popularity has declined in recent years. The death penalty is too final of a punishment for the United States to be using.

Although the death penalty is legal in some parts of the United States, it has no place in our quest for justice and needs to be abolished. In particular, the death penalty is ineffective because of the time gone to waste from the salaried guardsmen being paid overtime, to the innocents being put on row. Due to the crucial time being lost, the United States is not spending money adequately, resulting in the downfall to debt. Not only is money being lost, but racial bias exhibited during trial is inadmissible and has a huge effect on how people in the society are portrayed, as well as treated. Abolishing the capital punishment will take the United States one step closer in recovering lost money and

People get the death penalty when they do one of these crimes; murder, treason, espionage, terrorism, and drug trafficking. You could also be in prison for the rest of your life if this happens. The death penalty is three lethal drugs that are given to the person that is guilty. The drugs are anesthetic, muscle relaxant, and a drug to stop the heart. The appeal system makes sure the people are guilty before they put them to death. This means the cases are reviewed. It takes place after the death sentence is given. This expensive process could take up to ten years. When the appeals are over the results will be a death penalty or life in prison or the person will be innocent and nothing happens. The death penalty must be banned because it does not decrease crimes and lots of innocent people have been killed.

     The death penalty is absolutely outrageous. There is no real reason that the government should feel that it has the right to execute people. Capital punishment is murder just as much as the people being executed murdered. The is no need for the death penalty and it needs to be abolished. It goes against the Constitution which states that there will be no cruel and unusual punishment. There is nothing crueler than killing a person.

There is a topic that lingers in today's society “The death penalty” which has been around since the 1800’s hundreds. The death penalty still remains as a controversial issue in society. In the last sixty years, there has been numerous and many polls that has been carried out to determine the amount of support that the death penalty has.

America has always been threatened with terrorist attacks, such event that has occurred in September 11, also the distribution of virus that was known to be deadly, and also random attacks by dangerous people from across the country.

The death penalty continues to be an issue of controversy and is an issue that will be debated and talked about in the United States for many more years. The death penalty is a punishment of execution, administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime. In 1963 the United States abolished the death penalty, also called capital punishment. Through the 1960s, the Supreme Court battled many cases involving the death penalty and whether it should be allowed. The Supreme Court finally ruled a decision in 1976 that the death penalty can be enforced by the states that want it and not enforced by those who don't want it. To me not only is capital punishment unethical, useless and serves no purpose it is also biased and racist. Racial bias

America is the only free, democratic country where death penalty exist. The system should be abolished because one wrong evidence can cause a life. Life term in prison may not be an ideal punishment for some criminal, but it the best solution and still constitutional. Some people may feel the death penalty is cruel and robbed the right to life also violate the Constitution. The oldest prison inmate was seventy-four years old before he was executed, but he lived thirty-six years in prison. He got the punishment he deserved and he had the right to life. Life term in prison may not be the ideal right to life any person would want, but it is the least any criminals on death row could ask to receive.
