Death penalty
Should the death penalty be used to punish violent criminals
Reasons i support it
- Morality,The crimes of rape, torture, treason, kidnapping, murder, larceny, and perjury pivot on a moral code and their some of the worst crimes you can comment.
- Constitutionality, "Simply because an execution method may result in pain, either by accident or as an inescapable consequence of death, does not establish the sort of 'objectively intolerable risk of harm'
- Irrevocable Mistakes,No system of justice can produce results which are 100% certain all the time. Mistakes will be made in any system which relies upon human testimony for proof. We should be vigilant to uncover and avoid such mistakes.
Facts
The death penalty is applied at random.
"Politics, quality of legal counsel and the jurisdiction where a crime is committed are more often the determining factors in a death penalty case than the facts of the crime itself. The death penalty is a lethal lottery: of the 22,000 homicides committed every year approximately 100 people or less are sentenced to death."
