It is surprising to me how many people are actually pro capital punishment. For those who aren 't too sure what capital punishment really is, it is the execution of a criminal who is legally convicted of a capital crime (i.e. murder). Even though the death penalty is the best way to punish criminals of their heinous crimes, I believe it is unethical because it is inhumane and hypocritical, it 's way too costly, also, most criminals put on death row have psychological issues in which they have no control of, and finally people can be falsely accused of crime and be wrongfully sent to their death.

The death penalty is a unique means of guaranteeing that a convicted killer can never kill again.

The United States is one of the few democracies that still carries out capital punishment.

Many people argue that the death penalty is justified because it is a fair and equal punishment for the crimes committed and that the murdered should receive fair and equal punishment in order to have justice. It is often assumed that murders should be punished by death, but isn’t it true that ending or killing anyone is morally wrong?

A lot of individuals feel that the death penalty should be strictly the choice of the criminal. In context, the judge can only tell the convict whether or he or she qualifies for the death penalty, then the felon decides which available sentence he or she would rather. Generally people aren’t against the death penalty, just the idea of the capital punishment being decided for the criminal.

Such crimes such as rape, torture, treason, kidnapping, murder, larceny are in the hands of experts to decide with the evidence whether or not the defendant is guilty or not (Top 10 Pros and Cons, 2009).

Murder, in every degree is taken very serious no matter what the case is, no person should walk away free from murdering someone if they’ve done it with all purpose of ending another person’s life.
