Many people see capital punishment as cruel and wrong, but is not what that person did cruel and wrong? How are we as a society going to teach them that it is wrong? Life without parole is not the answer, capital punishment might be. Some of our jails today could be mistaken for a Holiday Inn. The convicted are treated entirely too well. This is not what I want my taxes to be paying for. I would rather hear of their death then to know that they are, some nights, eating meals just as good as what I am having, you need to remember what these people did. I do not feel comfortab

The Risk of Executing the Innocent.

The death penalty saves lives, by executing murderers you prevent them from murdering again. The fear of execution will also keep criminals from murdering innocent people. There is statistical proof that executions produce fewer murders however, there’s a strong side against that as well. You have to remember though, what’s there to be scared about when only 0.08% of the murderers have been executed since 1973, I find that absolutely ludicrous. Deep down inside many criminals you can bet are indeed thinking about the death penalty, especially if you live in Texas. Here’s a funny little fact to go along with the 0.08%, 6% of young adults purroled for murder, murdered again with in 6 years of there release. Why should we let people who have been convicted of murder to be let back on to the streets. Guess what if you execute someone, there’s no chance of him or her doing it again. In 1984, 810 of the 52,000 people serving time for murder were 2nd offenders, they had killed 821 people total the 2nd time. We could have saved 820 lives by eliminating these animals. I read that since 1971 they figure someone who was a convicted murderer has murdered 1,026 people. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that convicted criminals free on parole and probation have committed at least 84,800 violent crimes every year, including 13,200 murders, 12,900 rapes, and 49,500 robberies. I don’t understand why people think these people should still be alive.

Here’s a recent case that came up in NY State. Ken Williams beat a two-year-old to death. Williams admitted in a signed confession that he smacked his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son with a belt seven or eight times and rapped him about eight hours before the defenseless 2 year old stopped breathing. This entire thing started because the boy, Lavonty Johnson, threw up on his bed. Williams got upset and grabbed a belt and beat him with it then rapped him. The weird thing is after he did this they played video games, then Johnson’s started breathing funny. He stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest. Williams tr
