1.) I believe that capital punishment is not an effective deterrent to crime. If you end someones life by giving them the death penalty then you are guilty of murder just like the criminal. Gandhi once said "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." That is pretty much what is going on if you allow the death penalty to prevail. We have to lock up these murderers up for life and make them think about what they have done for the rest of there life. this allows are conscious to be clear and the criminal regret every thing he/she has ever done.
2.) I guess for the few benefits it has, the biggest one would be it saves tax payers dollars. the biggest weakness is that you are no different then the killer.
3.) I propose we keep all murders in jail for life with no chance of getting out. it doesn't matter if it was a normal person, insane person, or autistic person. they still killed someone and deserve to be equally punished no matter what.

i disagree i think the should insanity defense because some people are really messed up and don't know right from wrong
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it makes absolutely no sense to kill a person because they killed someone else. It's contradictory and does not make us better people. Even if they killed 20 people, your punishing them by doing the exact same thing so it doesn't teach any lesson.
