Death Penalty 9
After reading "The Death Penalty" by William Raspberry several topics surfaced in my mind. The death penalty is unjust and very ridiculous sentence for a human being . Capital punishment is not as effective as most people believe. There are alternative and beneficial solutions in place of the death penalty. Why we have the death penalty is very puzzling question to me. Personally I believe the death penalty is a hypocritical decision. The law states that it's wrong to commit murder yet a judge or a jury has the power to put a person to death. If murder is against the law then why do the courts feel it's necessary to kill a human being? I'm not saying that what Jack Ronald Jones did was right and he doesn't deserve any punishment. I'm saying that the punishment is quite foolish. I could never buy the concept of The Code of Hammurabi: "an eye for an eye." The death penalty, much like suicide is just an easy way of dealing with a problem. As I flip the coin and look on the other side I wonder what I would do if someone I knew was murdered in the way
