.... fact would send a rush of anger through my body. The justice
system killed somebody's family member. The death penalty should not even exist,
due to the fact that many mistakes can be made, and a life can never be brought
back.
Juries have been and still are mostly consisted of the white majority.
Racism and money is a big part of our everyday lives. With the majority of
people in the jury consisted of whites, racism might in fact be involved. Now,
if a black family is poor and does not have much money, the suspect may then be
issued a racist attorney. Many cases have been recorded of this happening, both

circumstances such as the life of a murderer, what is stopping others from
creating their own circumstances for the value of one's life such as race, class,
religion, and economics. Immanual Kant, a great philosopher of ethics, came up
with the Categorical Imperative, which is a universal command or rule that
states that society and individuals "must act in such a way that you can will
that your actions become a universal law for all to follow" (Palmer 265). There
must be some set of moral and ethical standards that even the government can not
supersede, otherwise how can the state expect its citizen .....

or other qualified personnel, by either oral tablet or capsule or an
intramuscular injection of a narcotic or barbiturate such as morphine, cocaine,
or demerol. In the provisions of the N.J.S. 2C: 49-3, it says that the
Commissioner of the Department of Corrections determines the substances and

persons who are qualified to administer injections and who are familiar with

Capital Punishment
.... folly on Israel by playing the harlot in her
father's house" (Deuteronomy 22:21) England recognized seven major crimes that
called for execution by the end of the 15th century. These crimes were: murder,
theft (by deceitfully taking someone goods), burglary, rape, and arson. As
time went by more and more crimes were believed to deserve the death penalty and
by 1800 more than 200 crimes were recognized as punishable by death. (Bedau2)
It was not long before capital punishment met opposition. The Quakers made
first movement against execution. They supported life imprisonment as a more
humane justice. Cesare Beccaria wrote On .....

Capital Punishment, Should It Or Should It Not Be Used In Today's Criminal Judging System
.... . The abolitionists also did a
poll which ensured that there was "no support for the view that the death
penalty provides a more effective deterrent to police homicides than alternative
sanctions. Not for a single year was evidence found that police are safer in
jurisdictions that provide for capital punishment" The highest homicide rates
were also in Death Penalty states with executions: 9.7 homicides per 100,000
people as compared to 5.1 in states without the Death Penalty . It has also
been shown that the Death Penalty is racially biased and unfair.
There has been substantial evidence to show that courts have been

rather than the brutal punishment that history portrayed.
People who oppose the death penalty say that "there is no evidence that
the murder rate fluctuates according to the frequency with which the death
penalty is used" (Masur 153). It is more likely that the convict would be
paroled instead of being executed because of the present practice of allowing
unlimited appeals. Convicted criminals are not exposed to cruel punishment, but
rather given a long waiting period. If the criminal is put to death, it is
usually done as mercifully as possible.
One problem with the death penalty, presently, is that cr .....

Capital Punishment: For
.... Murder, never take into account the consequences of their actions.
Deterrence to crime, is rooted in the individuals themselves. Every human has a
personal set of conduct. How much they will and will not tolerate. How far they
will and will not go. This personal set of conduct can be made or be broken by
friends, influences, family, home, life, etc. An individual who is never taught
some sort of restraint as a child, will probably never understand any limit as
to what they can do, until they have learned it themselves. Therefore, capital
punishment will never truly work as a deterrent, because of human nature to
ignore practised .....

Capital Punishment: Is It Required
.... and unusual punishment." In this country, although
laws governing the application of the death penalty have undergone many changes
since biblical times, the punishment endures, and controversy has never been
greater.
Perhaps the most frequent argument for capital punishment is that of
deterrence. The prevailing thought is that imposition of the death penalty will
act to dissuade other criminals from committing violent acts. Numerous studies
have been created attempting to prove this belief; however, "All the evidence
taken together makes it hard to be confident that capital punishment deters more
than long prison term .....

and burying people alive. Also used were many nontraditional forms of
execution. One type of execution utilized elephants to crush the criminal's
head on a stone block.
As times changed, so did the death penalty. Laws aimed at abolishing
the death penalty began to evolve at the turn of the century. Even with the
changes made, the effectiveness of capital punishment stayed right on track.
The crimes punishable by death became more specific, while some were eradicated
completely. For example, there are different types of capital murder that have
been specifically def .....

number of crimes, just like in England, the ruler of the states in this era (II

punishable by death. Some of them would today be considered as misdemeanors
and petty crimes (i. e. shooting of a rabbit, the theft of a pocket handkerchief,
and to cut down a cherry tree) (Horwitz 13). The majority of these were crimes
dealing with property. However, transportation became an alternative to
execution in the 17th century. A lot of these criminals were shipped to the U.S.
(28).

Capital Punishment: Injustice Of Society
.... Bryan Stevenson,
the executive director of the Montgomery based Equal Justice Initiative, has
stated that “…people are increasingly realizing that the more we resort to
killing as a legitimate response to our frustration and anger with violence, the
more violent our society becomes…We could execute all three thousand people on
death row, and most people would not feel any safer tomorrow.”(Frame 51) In
addition, with the growing humanitarianism of modern society, the number of
inmates actually put to death is substantially lower than 50 years ago. This
decline creates a situation in which the death penalty ceases to be a deterren .....

This process continues as long as the phone has power and is turned on. If the
phone is turned off (or the car is), someone attempting to call the mobile phone
