Capital Punishment
On April 19, 1995, a cold-blooded killer drove up to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building inOklahoma City, Oklahoma and left his rented Ryder truck parked outside. But this was not just another rental truck; this truck was loaded with 4,800-pound of fertilizer-and-fuel-oil bomb. This bomb was to eventually detonate and kill 168 people and injure more than 500. In the weeks and months that followed, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the assistance of nearly all the federal enforcement officers in the country began putting the clues together and searched for the cold-blooded killers. As a result, on August 11, 1995, Attorney General announced the arrest of a twenty-seven year old former United States Army member with an outstanding service record; Timothy McVeigh. McVeigh was eventually found guilty of the offenses and was sentenced execution. With the trial and sentence of McVeigh, to be executed at the hands of the state, the issue of Capital Punishment has once again come to the forefront of American justice. Black's Law Dictionary defines Capital Punishment as follows: - "The Supreme penalty exacted as punishment for murder and other capital crimes."
