I agree with the decision of him being sentenced for life. He killed two innocent people and was making an attempt on a third person. I think a rightful punishment is life in
During the fall of 1993, Shirley Crook’s, a loving mother and wife, life was horribly cut short in one of the most horrific ways possible, drowning. Seventeen year old, Christopher Simmons, wrapped his victim in duct tape and electrical cords and drowned her in a river with help from his accomplices John Tessmer and Christopher Benjamin. He attempted to burglarize the Crooks residence along with his accomplices, and he only murdered Mrs. Crooks because ‘the bitch seen my face’ (State v. Simmons). He “assured his friends that their status as juveniles would allow them to ‘get away with it.’... Brian Moomey, a 29-year-old convicted felon who allowed neighborhood teens to "hang out" at his home.
Killing people is a horrible thing to do, even if they did thoughtlessly murder a whole family in the middle of the night. It makes you just as bad as a killer then they
Jim realizes that these beliefs will not be accepted in a traditional religious community, so he declares himself no longer a preacher. Although he leaves the church, he continues to be a motivational speaker and teacher. When Jim Casy is reacquainted with Tom Joad, Joad confesses to murder, without
Abused as a child physically and mentally by his father, possibly goad by abuse is what led him to turn demented. As he grew up, he went to jail for supposedly killing an innocent, but obtained released. Between the people and the police, this should have been a foreboding! Only after he amplified the killings by 32 more innocents, was he sentenced to death row. This is an abomination!
Christopher Simmons killed this innocent woman and more punishment should have been given than what was. Simmons will sit in prison thinking that he got away with it. This does not set a good example for the younger generation, that if you want to murder someone then you can and you don't receive the death penalty, but jail for life. The death penalty was legal for minors in the State of Missouri, the death penalty was a fair punishment for Christopher Simmons and would have been the wisest punishment to give. No mercy should have been given to Simmons on this action.
I do support why kill the juvenile, let he/she spend the rest of their behind bars. One of the Ten Commandments is “thy shall not kill,” again I support the decision that was
I had many run-ins with the law, like stealing a horse in Arkansas, but evaded prosecution because I broke out of my jail cell.
This couldn’t have been more incorrect. In fact, his lack of remorse showed showed even more when he said the only reason he didn’t kill her was because he knew that if he had killed her, she would only be in pain for 10 minutes at the most (Clarendon). He knew that if he didn’t kill her she would live a life in pain with the grief of her young daughter. This inability to care for his family members and wanting to make them hurt shows that he has Antisocial Personality
The Bad Samaritan David Cash is an irresponsible and uncaring person whose inaction indirectly caused the rape and murder of seven year old Sherrice Iverson, however, he cannot be legally punished. He claims that he “never felt anything was going to happen to her. If [he] thought that that was going to happen to her, of course [he] would have stopped it.” However, that was a blatant lie as he had previously said that he had seen his friend Jeremy Strohmeyer restrain and threaten the girl, and had thought that “it was time for me to get out of there.”
In this instance this kid deserves to be sentenced with life without parole. This was no accident, it was planned out how he was going to kill them and he didn't feel bad at all for doing it. Greg told the officers that everytime he got mad he thought about killing them and this time he went through with it. Greg got sentenced to sixty years in prison. When he got there he was fifteen years old, the youngest adult inmate at the
The question is do I think that his punishment is justified and to explain why. Yes this punishment was fitting for him seeing all the harm he has done just to some of the characters through the book I would hate to hear how many other people’s life’s he has affected. In other books I have heard of them trying to get the person to change or bringing them on to their side but with this type of character I believe he is just pure evil seeing that he has no true motive on hurting people and just doing it for pure enjoyment. He would end up just hurting more people in the end and cause more problems so dying was a fitting end for this character to go out
He was hung for his crimes even if they were not true. The court felt that they had done what was best for the community. They both similarly had to be punished for the sake of the community to be right
A 12 year old kid named austin archuleta killed his entire family. his step dad sleeping in the bedroom. his sister on the couch sleeping with her boyfriend. His baby sister in her highchair. the put on a clown mask and crept up stairs.
Killing another seems very unjustifiable, which might be the case but when someone takes another 's life and sent to prison, death row or capital punishment is needed to put that person were they belong. People like that deserve to die because of their mistake of killing another and it deters other people to not kill others, showing them what would happen. In the case of Capital Punishment, Hunting for Sport, or George and Lennie, killing is a justifiable act. In the case of capital punishment killing is justified and needs to be done. For example, “Some crimes are so inherently evil they demand strict penalties up to and including death”(McClatchy).
