Pro Death Penalty Pros
Did you know that the cost of the death penalty was about $184 million annually in California? Now picture a lady casually walking down the street when someone runs up, shoots her, just for the $20 in her wallet. But she's also a single mom with two children who now have no mother. Now those kids will grow up without anyone to guide them but there foster parents. So now there lives are forever changed and that murderer gets to live just because the government doesn't want to pay for it. Body paragraph 1 If there was a death penalty it would probably keep more murderers out of public then if there wasn't. Some would say that it wouldn't make a difference. They say this because the percentages of when there was and when there wasn't a

Pro Death Penalty
Still today, the death penalty is a major controversy in numerous states all over the United States. It's hard to grasp the idea of putting another human to death. The death penalty is an execution style punishment which is usually used against criminal's who have committed a horrific crime. The are many arguments that thedeath penalty goes against the eighth amendment, which was struck down by the Supreme Court. I believe that the death penalty should be abolished everywhere in America. I think it should be abolished because it still isn't proven to deterrent future murders, it's used unfairly, and there is a risk of executing the innocent. The death penalty can be replaced with life inprison, suffering in prison for the rest of their...show more content...
This is truly why life sentence in more effective in the end. After a criminal is sentenced it can eventually leak out that that inmate is actually innocent. If we execute that inmate, we can't get his life back once we find out he actually was found not guilty. If we sentence them to life, we can release him when we find out the facts that he was not guilty the whole time. The courts can technically face many consequences for this because they did not uncover all the evidence before they executed the inmate. Once you take away a life there isn't any going back to fix it. There has been countless errors in the court system that have resulted in innocent deaths. This can cause families to lose their loved ones, or children to lose their parents when it could have been

Thousands of people will attack the death penalty. They will give emotional speeches about the one innocent man or woman who might accidentally get an execution sentence. However, all of these people are forgetting one crucial element. They are forgetting the thousands of victims who die every year by the hands of heartless murderers. There are more murderers out there than people who are wrongly convicted, and that is what we must remember.
I, as well as many others, have total confidence in the death penalty. It is a very beneficial component of our justice system. The death penalty saves lives. It saves lives because it stops those who murder from ever murdering again. It also deters potential murderers from ever committing the crime....show more content...
Jaime, a beautiful twenty–year–old college student at SUNY Binghamton, had been walking back to her dorm after class when she was abducted by Duffy at gunpoint. Wearing a black ski mask and gloves, Jaime's friends were unable to identify him. Having no idea who this man was, they watched in horror as Jaime was grabbed, threatened, and taken away.
Jaime was thrown into the front seat of a red Nissan Sentra with no license plates. Later that day, the police located the vehicle, which had been reported stolen, but Jaime and her abductor where nowhere to be found. There was not a single trace of evidence except for the fact that the car was stolen from Jaime's hometown community. Weeks went by and there were still no answers until the day two women, from Syracuse University, were abducted at gunpoint, the same way that Jaime was. The police soon realized that the three kidnappings had significant connections linking them together. These three women had all gone to high school together. Not only did they go to the same high school, they had all dated the same man at one point in time– Brian Duffy. It wasn't long before police tracked him down for questioning.
Brian Duffy was arrested in April of 1997 for the rape and murder of my cousin Jaime and the two Get
There are a total of 3,350 inmates currently on death row. These people include all of the main races in America. In 1965 Robert Massie murdered a mother of two in California during a robbery. Mere hours before he was scheduled to be executed. A stay was issued so he could testify, he had found evidence to support his cases and got parole and a second chance. Eight months later he robbed and murdered a businessman in California. This is a obvious that the death penalty should not be abolished, better yet supported in all states. The death penalty will prove to all mentally unstable criminals the horrors of death and will force them to face it eye to eye if they choose to commit the crime.
Capital punishment is active in 36 states. 10...show more content...
That is a resoundingly low number. That means that if a state declares a execution of the convict it is most likely going to happen. ?The number of innocent people who have been executed have been ZERO?(Elliot, David/Marquis, Joshua). There have also been speculation that if a massacre happens then the convict does not deserve to die? Many have said this is stupid that if someone does that he can be let off with a life sentence. Life sentence is always better than death, so he should be executed.
The reason why people have been critical about the death penalty is that maybe the commonly used three drug cocktail is a painful death. The cocktail consists of 3 drugs administered by a needle, the first is meant to incapacitate you then paralyze your muscles then to finally stop the heart. Many are saying this painful. How much more painless can it get. And do the convicts that commit such a horrible crime deserve to be painlessly executed? In China the common execution is one bullet to the back of the dead. In America that is unheard of and if anyone were to propose such a thing they would be considered cruel and twisted. Some of have been exposed to the other forms of executions used in America. One of them is electrocution which is solely used in Nebraska. A story is that a man was to be executed in Florida and a officer noticed that the sponge on the man?s head was torn so they got a new one but the new one was

The death penalty is one of the topics people either fully agree with or are absolutely against it, very few people are in between. I'm personally pro death penalty. There is pros and cons to this topic, as well as everything else.
Nobody likes paying taxes, that's a fact, so why would you want to pay extra taxes? So that mentally ill people that could have done unimaginably horrific things can live, be relatively happy, have a free home and eat 3 meals a day? If a person does something so horrible that they get a life sentence why not put them to death? It costs less to put the, to sleep than to keep them alive. I believe that if you go against the rights to life (murder), freedom (enslaving) or safety of victims (treason) you should be sentenced to death. If you think about it and put yourself in the victims possition you would want the person to pay for his/her actions. The death penalty can also lower crime rates, people aren't scared to go to prison/jail, but every single human has a fear of death. If we put some convicted criminals on death row it'll put some sense into them....show more content...
One con to the death penalty in that an innocent person could be put on death row. It's a very serious con, but there is a lot of good reasons that such a thing could happen. One reason could be that the other person convicted has vanished and left nothing behind besides evidence pointing to someone else. Another reason could be that the guilty perso has a very good lawyer. The final reason could be because of color or race, stereotypically black males are more likely to commit felony crimes like
