Death Penalty Opening Statement

Opening Statement

Today my opponents believe capital punishment better yet the death penalty is right. They see in there view that “murder” is the correct perspective of punishment for those who commit murder themselves. But this is not so . My team actually believes that the death penalty is the corrupt way to punish someone an what we will prove today will open your eyes to the truth of what our country has been doing legalize killing in the past centuries.

So what is the death penalty exactly? The death penalty is the “legally authorized killing of punishment for a crime.” This is usually applied for murder or other government crimes that applies to (treason, assassination of an a leader, etc.). Likewise there are facts of the

According to the Bible no one is treated indifferently because there crime is worse than the other person’s crime. It is stated in James 2:10:”For Whosoever keeps the whole law yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.” God does not look at sin differently he sees lying and murder as the same thing and according to God’s jurdiction, we spiritually all receive the same punishment death. This will also go for the Declaration of Independence which the second paragraph states “… all men are created equal….with certain unalienable right.” No one should b treated differently because the crime is far worse than the other or because your rich, you are other than minority. Which was why Mrs. King stated that the death penalty is discriminatory and does not do anything about crime.

Electrocution was a favorable when it was ruled out in 2008 and all it is that the victim is placed damp sponge on his head with a metal bowl that will cover his head. Afterward a device sends electrical pulses throughout his body, breaking his bones. Next , lethal injection is used with 3 cocktails that includes Sodium thiopental, Pancuriom bromide and Potassium chloride. And finally the gas chamber is simply the victim is placed in a gurney with his head strapped sealed in side of this chamber , and toxic,liquid gases a drop into the chamber. Now some of these executions are not that simple. If there is a kink in the process the victim will be succumb to a long and tortuous death.Is not there a contradiction in this? Because does not the 8th admendment states “Excessive bail shall not be requsted …. nor cruel and unusual punishment should be inflicted” which is stated in these words that congress cannot violate the penalty under these terms. But this goes totally against John Evans execution. As John Evans was our example that he was not dead till his heartbeat was stopped. Eyewitness said the room smelled like burned flesh and smoke permeated from Mr. Evans body. Embarrass of the process, the officials contacted Governor Wallace for the process to be stopped but it was denied. This was disclosed by the Furman v. Georgia 1972 case that’….. death is a…severe punishment unusual in pain in its
