Pros And Cons Of Abolishing The Death Penalty

Death Penalty is still a controversial topic in the world today. Some say its bad while others say its good. There are many factors that go into both ideas and why it makes sense. But, I say abolishing the death penalty beats the odds of still having it around. One never knows when someone is lying or telling the truth when it comes to a crime, even with evidence that is found. The criminal system is all over the place, and there much injustice going on that confining someone to death is an easy thing. Also, it does not guarantee the victim's family peace because some say that life without parole is a harsher punishment than the death penalty. It should be removed because it can be done to an innocent person, does not help with cutbacks in

All these are cruel, and unimaginable pain that can be done to innocent people. They can be electrocuted to death for something they did not do or be put down. All these methods are humane. Although some are removed from certain states they still exist elsewhere. The firing squad method which sounds painful and sad for a person to hear that it happened to their loved one. It is hard to find evidence to make someone innocent but it's possible. Everyone deserves second chances, and when it comes to criminal cases no one ever knows who is lying or telling the truth because it all relies on evidence. There is cases where evidence can be planted very well that will make the innocent person seem culprit. Another reason why the death penalty should be removed because it is not really the right thing to do and it's the easiest way to escape what someone did. For example, a judge named, Donald McCartin agrees that life in prison without parole is a better option than the death penalty. He also gives an example of a case he had that played into his

I would have given Alcala and the others the alternative sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole...She could have dealt then and there with the fact that her daughter's killer would be shut away, never again to see a day of freedom, and gone on to put her life together.” This quote ties into his idea of having the death penalty removed because he agrees that he gave the men an easier way out and put the victims family into more suffering. If the death penalty still stands, then the victim’s families will not receive much
