Pros And Cons Of Abolishing The Death Penalty

Has DNA ever cleared someone who is on death row? Has someone been put to death who was innocent? If the answers are yes, then the death penalty should be abolished. The first argument is that states use illegal execution drugs. Arizona and Texas ordered Sodium Thiopental (a drug that id used to paralyses the muscles and stop the heart). Sodium Thiopental is an unapproved drug that may not be imported into the country. But Arizona paid nearly $27,000 for the Sodium Thiopental which federal agents intercepted when it had arrived at Phoenix airports. The second argument pint is that innocent people are on death row. Gary Graham (A.KA. Sankafa) was sentenced to death in the year of 2000 at the age of 18, in 1981 in Texas for a robbery and murder of Bobby Lambert. Carlos Deluna was executed in Texas, in 1989 for a crime (stabbing a women named Wanda Lopez). Troy Davis and Sylvester Cole, were in a parking lot in Georgia in 1989 when Cole attacked a homeless man named Larry Young. An off duty officer goy shot and killed by someone with a .38 revolver Cole said he had the .38 revolver and other even said it was him who killed the officer. But Davis was convicted as the murder so he was executed on September 21, 2011. Without, the death penalty, no innocent life would be taken including; Graham, Deluna, or Davis.

Bobby Allen had worked on death row for over decade but, he says those years were extremely confusing. Eventually Allen developed internal “emotional issues” and heavy drinking problems. Allen tried to be so professional but, some officers didn’t even care. They bought a couch to watch more.

People like Allen should be able to go home and say they had a good day at
