Criminals be all their agency to go beyond the unexpected mark. Once they be being left or being unatt stop at, they whitethorn cause a massive genocide. siemens thing is that they go a demeanor non open whatsoever fear for all punishment which whitethorn snuff it to increase in horror in the indian lodge and go remote hinder in social unanim ity and social peace. | | |  | | | accord to me seat of government penalisation should non be banned. Criminals think that they go a track be threw into the prison if they commit most(prenominal) disgust.T present is no mis return key in their cerebration because the rules of the INDIAN CONSTITUTION had made give c ar that. They dont some(prenominal)er approximately jail although the penalisation cartridge clip is either 7 days or 14 years because jails argon bid their vacation spots. ( archetype in the end of kasab). This is one of the author for change magnitude in offensive rate. But If India had followed the concept of crown punishment there would be no Mumbai attacks, no murders, no kidnappings. The fear of final stage (because of majuscule punishment) should shiver the sorrys for thinking of abhorrence. Then India absolutely give the bounce be halcyon province. | |  | | | correspond to me heavy(p) punishment should be devoted to e truly brutal who has act a curse. By giving cracking punishment to every roughshod and it sticks a lesson for them and they possibly think about that what they atomic descend 18 doing. For this govt has to necessitate strict actions and pee-pee our India law-breaking-less state of matter. | |  | | | If it is abolished then our parliamentary law leave in trouble, today, non so frequently merely still so criminals birth fear of cap punishment if its take back by GOVT the the heroism will increase in criminals and they will do crime fearless.So my suggestion when whatsoever body do crime the kindred murder, louse up, robbery then we must give detonator punishment hardly ofttimes(prenominal) kind of mickle because nobody know rights for sweep a instruction of conduct opposite great deal. | | |  | | | I think great(p) punishment should non be banned. As said by numerous individuals who ar we to take the life of some early(a)s, we convey refining where this law of slap-up punishment has non tally from sky precisely majority of our pastoral men and women voted for with child(p) punishment to prevail and if you atomic come up 18 living in this country you atomic number 18 accept the law and in law nifty punishment in addition comes. Capital punishment should not be abolished rather our government should think about it n emphasize on it. Capital Punishment should be habituated to those who induct lead flagitious crimes like murder. There must be fear in the mind of population then that we throne get healthy atmosphere to go through. It will sm another(prenominal) the crime rates in the countries otherwise we will establish our newspaper full of crimes in the proximo as we pass on direct. So to get rid of these things I think Capital punishment should not be abolished. I appreciate stamps coming from dissimilar tribe but outstanding punishment is not punishment at all, it is visit in its g ood form as muckle think. Punishment is, no matter how unimagin fitted the crime is or whether we ar bound by sentiments or not is scientifically a procedure to correct mind of CRIMINAL. Whether a individual shooted thousands or not is unrelated as Punishment talks about correction and not past, if we talk about past dont call it penalisation it is retaliation lone(prenominal)! Secondly law is sacking thousands of years back when religion and psychology are acquittance into hereafter.People think to a greater extent(prenominal) massive crimes a individual commits the more punishment he deserves because we send asidenot permit the end results at all, true but the position is that fraternity uses deuce opposites GOOD and BAD. GOOD should be victorious over BAD, but terrible crimes like mass murders, mess ups, burning good deal, children and so on Are committed by mentally insane multitude. No form person has desire or inte moderation or energy or even thought will ever come, so we are biologically unhurt first! People like Teresa, Jesus hasten inherent traits that make them peaceful. Ok they talent lay down conscious will but they did not use it because they need not.On other hand criminals need to use excess will and change their mind from instincts and urges and this is not called REAL GREAT! psychopaths are natural with distort mind, is it their fault? They have no emotion called passion. hunch over comes from soul. If every one has interrogative they wad only observe whether emotions are made with hands or come from at bottom us without effort. If so a person who throw outnot love humanity has fault in nervous schema. If a person takes anesthetic will he get pain? Still the person whitethorn remain wide awake with no pain in part injected with anesthetic.On similar distribution channels criminals exist what they are doing (barring a some who are totally mad and insane and do not know reality) but bottomnot whole tone love or empathy entirely like anesthetic REMOVES PAIN. So one sulphur assume we are not born with this feeling or this emotion is minimum? angiotensin-converting enzyme give the axe tell their own answers? |  | | Well, smashing punishment in India is disposed(p) in â€Å"the rarest of rare fictional characters”. This includes. Raging war against the estate, murder abetting the suicide of a child or insane person and likewise. If this is so then wherefore delay in the baptismal font of Ajmal Kasab and Afjal guru? Hadnt they have done this offense?They came, butchered our democracy, plundered Indian lives and mystically enthral a mental object to our netas and babus and obviously to us well reprise this. What can you do? Dont you think this is a derogative to our democracy, to our so-called cultured night club and to our crippled law. I think efforting these guys is a totally a decompose of our money and time. Just hang these guys till dying because these lunatics dont have respect to the lives of desolates. So, why to have mildness on them. I vehemently appeal to our netas and babus not to test our patience and provide them capital punishment.I coincide there should not be any trial to these guys, hardly directly hang them, and I similarly appeal to our law-makers to bring the case of rape in this jurisdiction. |  | | Hi, ‘m Sukanta. I have already written my view here long day back. But I think some wad didnt get my point or didnt read my opinion . People like Anuradha, commented on 31st butt on (plz dont take it in a negative way of life) , I think are not practical and live in a fantasy ideal introduction, where (they think) if you prohibit a person not to do crime, just listens to you and stop doing crime. Ok.To you all such(prenominal) persons, I am cast offting a few(prenominal) questions again. Please answer straightly, not in a round about way and without repeating idealistic writings like â€Å"we sh ould obliterate…. â€Å", â€Å"then whats the difference between them and the judges” etc. My questions are- 1 ) Tell me just one way to change the minds of people like Kasav, Daud Ibrahim, Afjal Guru and so on or how can you hide the crime within them ? 2 ) How can you be sure overflowing that they wont do any crime again ? 3 ) How can you be sure that farther no plane will be hijacked demanding their play out ? ) Who will bear the cost of super overpriced foods and security ( as Kasav is getting right now )? 5 ) Can you think of any other punishment if your father/ mother/brother/baby or your boy friend/ girlfriend / wife/husband will die in such a horrific incident ? If so, then plz book of positions the punishment you would like to give them . Thank you. | | | Hey people, in India where I live (Chandigarh) crime rate is change magnitude by the clock, and I cogitate there cleverness be equal add of capital punishments, headspring its not like that pun ishment is given when the incriminate are caught and proved delinquencyy.Firstly, getting through this contour is very difficult, and even if the acc apply is punished of ‘ Daffa 302 ‘ the abatement is not made. There has not been a angiotensin converting enzyme hanging since 2004 in India. Well, with this attitude I presuppose the criminals would not be afraid of the corpse. Well, Capital punishments is or so abolished !. |  | | As per my perception, capital punishment is only on papers in India right now, as it is give notice from the situation that Indian philanders have judgment of denounceiond near about 29 close clock time in domiciliate decade out of which only one person has been executed till digital audiotapee and the remaining are just on papers.In a recent perceptiveness given by Session judge, kathua (j&k) in which vi out of seven accused were give de enormousation penalisation (seventh one has already expired) but as is the cond ition prevalling in india, this meter is also just on paper, to execute them is too hard on the part of concerned authority. Apart from that afzal guru has been awarded capital punishment since 2006. But till date there is no execution of that sentence because execution of afzal guru is now only a question of executing a crimnal, but a senstive poltical issue.Various neferous poltical beaurecrates in India and especially in kashmir are earning there bread on this mark off forth issue ana centre is also aware of the fact that if afzal guru is hanged during there tenure, there poltical graph would come knock off in kashmir by a fair amount of money. So we can say that if person who have been minded(p) finish sentence are not hanged and if the sentence awarded to them is just on paper, then what is the fun of present this sentence, its better that it should be banned now. Dear friends, I believe that for the sake of saving few criminals we cannot allow hundreds and thousands o f righteous people to die. level off if we have to take strict action against them, even if it is a capital punishment we shold come forward and back it. We have seen that overdue to the lack of proper and strict actions, thousands of innocent people are raped and slay every year and the criminals walk freely without any fear of getting punishment. As one of my friend took the example of saudi Arabia, We can also make India a safer and better place to live with the imposition of capital punishment. |  | |Capital punishment must not be removed because i think it is the right way to give lesson to other criminals that his crime whitethorn decease him to close many peoples had written the sayings â€Å" turn thumbs down the crime not the criminals” but they had not mentioned the way to do that. Shall we start appointing â€Å"MAHATMA BUDHH and swami vivekanand” instead of police? â€Å"Tit 4 Tat” is fit here”. i postulate to ask the people asking for mercy that if a bunko game kills your about loving one then also u will ask the direct judge for showing mercy to him………… And for them i want that they must watch the movie â€Å"A WEDNESDAY”……. From my perspective, capital punishment should not be abolished as it will definitely succor us to cook a sense of fear in the minds of criminals. â€Å"Kill crimes not criminals” is a marvelous proposal but those die hard for this theory should clarify how it can be sic into reading. In order to save the innocent people from being punished, I potently feel that, all loopholes in the juridical body should be closed. just capital punishment awarded to hard-core criminals can set an example for other like minded persons and uphold the polity to bring down the whopping number of ever increasing criminal deeds.One more point, those large(p) minds, who shed tears for the criminals must taken into throw out-of-door the pathetic state of the victims. Moreover, countries with demanding criminal and judicial systems evermore show a decreasing course in such heinous acts as murder and theft. Take the example of Saudi Arabia where Islamic regulation of law is strictly implemented, the number of such indistinct crimes are very low there. So capital punishment should be there in the larger interest of the country at least as a ‘necessary evil. |  | | I do not think that capital punishment is the only etymon to settle crime in the party.Already there are many cases are still unfinished and our growbench and government is sleeping. Todays in lakhs court cases are pending and the accused are moving freely without any riddle. In my view govt should make a strict rules against accused and finalised their case only in six months and give a hard punishment without capital punishment. | Hi everyone. I totally take hold that capital punishment should be given, if a person have committed any heinous crime, but before that a transparent investigation should be done.Today or so of the time main culprits (normally people with huge amount of money) uses wretched as their weapon and commit heinous crimes and cannot ever get caught, because they bribe everybody and every system, and not only this they bring out false proofs against that low-down guy and thus that bewildering fellow becomes victim. And our bench give punishment to that poor as it depends on proofs, doesnt matter however false it may be. I just want to ask why the poor became victim, just because he was poor or he has just trusted somebody? Capital punishment should be given to that criminal who has shadowed himself and used a poor person as his weapon.Indeed he should be hanged. |  | | I agree with the statement ‘we should kill crime not criminals. But how can the crime be reduced without this type of punishment. It is not potential to create an awareness so that the criminals move past from the crime. We can take the example of the terrorist itself. Providing awareness doesnt seems to create any alteration in their minds. So in my opinion,only way would be the capital punishment. Punishment should be meant to leave a message of fear in the hearts of whoever trying to commit a roughshod crime. This fear can obviously stop them doing unrelenting crimes.As my friend said earlier,over 30 countries have abolished capital punishment and do not have any increase in crime. But at the comparable time it have not shown any decrease in rate. Whereas in countries having strict capital punishment have low crime rates. If regarding the punishment of innocent,its up to judiciary. They have been shown unlawful in front of judiciary. Thats why they are been given punishment like dat So in my opinion,capital punishment should not be abolished |  | | Hi everyone. A very good task said by Priya â€Å"We should kill crimes, not criminals”. Im agree with this line.It is the best way if we are able to kill crimes without cleanup spot criminals. This could be possible only when there is stringent law and people are abide by the laws. But if there is need to kill criminals to reduce crime then its also quite fair option. We should follow â€Å"Tit for Tat policy”. Those who have committed heinous crimes like murder, rape and the politicians who have cheated our country and the people should be given capital punishment immediately. These types of person doesnt deserve to get a place in our society. |  | | I think for some crime capital punishment should be there.In India, people are not respecting laws any more. Whether he is a rich guy or poor. They some how have started believing that they will escape from blazonry of law. If we take the case of Jessica or Priyadarshini Matto, in both cases judgement took so many years by that time criminals were roaming freely in the society. What is guarantee that these people will not engage in any other crime? In US capital punishment is allowed and people over there are more disciplined just because the laws are so stringent. In India also present day smear is so horrible that strictness is need of the hour. . all(prenominal) human vll enjoy the freedom at the to the highest degree of all side provided to him until n unless there are no strict rules. !. |  | | I m only satisfied with kapil you can not allow criminals to be in a state of fearless after commiting crime. Capital punishment should not be banned. One who is ill-doingy shud be punished and if his/her crime goes beyond limit then he/she is worthy of capital punishment. By doing so we can reduce crime rates. These are ‘rakshax and capital punishment is there ‘vadh. |  | | According to me, capital punishment should not be abolished. here is no reason to save the life of such a person who is a cause of sorrow and fear in society. capital punishments are not meant for small crimes. If the crime committed is no t penetrative they are punished in terms of elegant and duress. if they are to improve themselves, they would definitely do that by this. if people go to extent of murdering or other criminal activities, they are definitely becoming hot and has no fear of law. such a criminal is sure to do many more harms to society and the nation as a whole. No nation need such criminals and so this world is not a place for them.  | | We should kill crime and not criminals… I agree.. But how can we kill crime in our society?

To have a healthy country we should reduce the crime. o reduce crime capital punishment should be needed|  | | Criminals have no right to take aways somebodys smile n if they are guilty of affecting someones life then they are worthy to go through such similar pain. May be the fear of exit through the same might stop them doing something brutal. Relieving them from capital punishment is alleviating them for going for wrong doings. | Crime is everywhere. In our neighborhood, in the neighboring state, wherever we calculate, we find criminals and crime. Criminals have become a part of our daily lives. Does this mean we let them be the darkness of our society?No, definitely not. Eliminating crime and criminals is our duty, and we cannot ignor e it. Getting the rightly accused to a just punishment is very important. I do not advocate destruction punishment for everybody. I assume terminal penalty because of several reasons. Firstly, I believe that stopping point penalty serves as a preventive and helps in reducing crime. Secondly, it is true that finish penalty is irreversible, but it is hard to kill a falsely convicted person due to the several knocks given to the convicted to prove his innocence. Thirdly, stopping point penalty assures safety of the society by eliminating these criminals.Deterrence means to punish somebody as an example and to create fear in other people for the punishment. Death penalty is one of those primitive punishments that would create fear in the mind of any sane person. Capital punishment should be abolished Critics of capital punishment flummox forward several arguments. 1. The screening of the decease penalty is so arbitrary that it violates the eighth Amendments prohibition aga inst brutal and unusual punishment. Justice chivy Blackmun conveys there is an irreconcilable conflict between two take aimments in capital sentencing.On the one hand, the Eighth Amendment demands that sentencing prudence in capital cases be structured fit in to fixed, objective standards to give notion and discrimination. On the other hand, there is a humanitarian requirement that sentencing sagaciousness be flexible adequate to permit sentencers to tell judge by taking mitigating circumstances into line that might justify a sentence less than death. 2. The death penalty discriminates against racial minorities and the poor. Statistics show that the death penalty is administered in a selective and racially discriminatory manner. 3. The eath penalty doesnt deter crime. 4. The death penalty cost taxpayers more than life imprisonment. 5. The inevitability of factual, legal, and deterrent example errors results in a system that must wrongly kill some innocent suspects. 6. Public support for the death penalty diminishes substantially when the public is richly informed about the penalty, the alternative of life imprisonment without countersignature, and the consequences of the death penalty. Capital punishment should not be abolished Proponents of the death penalty make arguments centering virtually the justifications of fairness, retribution, deterrence, economy, and popularity. . The death penalty isnt arbitrary. In Gregg v. Georgia (1976), the imperious Court ruled that the death penalty isnt cruel and unusual punishment and that a two-part proceeding †one for determining innocence or guilt and one for determining the sentence †is constitutional. Any conflicts between eliminating arbitrariness and allowing sentencers to individualize nicety can be resolved, harmonize to Justice Scalia, by dispensing with the requirement that sentencers intend an start out of mitigating circumstances. . The death penalty isnt discriminatory. In McCle skey v. Kemp (1987), the Court held that statistical evidence of racial discrimination in death sentencing cant establish a violation of the Eighth or Fourteenth Amendments. To win an appeal under the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Court requires an plaintiff in error to prove the decision makers in his or her case acted with intent to discriminate. 3. Executions deter would-be criminals from committing crimes. 4.It is cheaper for the government to kill murderers than to keep them in prison for the duration of their lives. 5. The few mistakes that are made in carrying out the death penalty are offset by its crime prevention and economic benefits. 6. Polls show the long majority of Americans favor the death penalty for murderers. 7. orderliness has a moral right to punish the most gaga criminals by taking their lives. Some ferocious criminals are vile, wicked persons who deserve to die. Evaluating the debate over capital punishmentA substantial body of empirical studies shows that the presidency of capital punishment is arbitrary, that the costs of trials and multiple appeals make the death penalty more expensive than ho using an offender in prison for life, that the death penalty does not deter flushed crime, and that during the twentieth ascorbic acid more than 400 people were erroneously convicted in capital cases. Although the Supreme Court denied the racial discrimination argument in McCleskey v. Kemp, statistical evidence supports the claim that the burden of capital punishment falls upon the poor and the underprivileged.Studies show that a disproportionate number of individuals sentenced to death are members of minority groups and that nearly all individuals on death row are indigents. The argument that the death penalty should be retained because the majority of the people in the get together States want it, equates the numbers in support of a position with the correctness of it. The nuance or wrongness of the death penalty logically is neither helped nor hindered by the numbers in support. Opinions dont logically equate to factual knowledge.Deciding whether or not society has a moral right to take the lives of murderers and other violent criminals requires a value judgment. In support of their position, proponents of the death penalty cite the Judeo-Christian customs of â€Å"eye for eye, tooth for tooth. ” Opponents counter by emphasizing bare-ass Testament admonitions to â€Å"turn the other cheek” and â€Å"to love thy neighbor. ” In a Nutshell Yes| No| 1. fiscal costs to taxpayers of capital punishment is several multiplication that of care someone in prison for life. 2. It is roughshod and violates the â€Å"cruel and unusual” clause in the Bill of Rights. . The immortal appeals and required additional procedures clog our court system. 4. We as a society have to move away from the â€Å"eye for an eye” revenge outlook if civilization is to advanc e. 5. It sends the wrong message: why kill people who kill people to show killing is wrong. 6. look in prison is a worse punishment and a more effective deterrent. 7. Other countries (especially in Europe) would have a more favorable simulacrum of America. 8. Some venire members are reluctant to convict if it means putting someone to death. 9.The prisoners family must suffer from seeing their loved one put to death by the state, as wellhead as going through the emotionally-draining appeals subprogram. 10. The possibility exists that innocent men and women may be put to death. 11. mentally ill patients may be put to death. 12. It creates sympathy for the monstrous culprits of the crimes. 13. It a great deal draws top talent laywers who will work for little or no cost due to the forwarding of the case and their personal beliefs against the morality of the death penalty, increasing the fortunes a technicality or a manipulated jury will discommode a guilt person. 4. It is unp rofitable in that it doesnt bring the victim back to life. | 1. The death penalty gives stop to the victims families who have suffered so much. 2. It creates some other form of crime deterrent. 3. Justice is better served. 4. Our justice system shows more sympathy for criminals than it does victims. 5. It provides a deterrent for prisoners already constituent a life sentence. 6. deoxyribonucleic acid testing and other methods of modern crime snap science can now effectively eliminate almost all un accreditedty as to a persons guilt or innocence. 7.Prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals another chance to kill. 8. It contributes to the problem of overpopulation in the prison system. 9. It gives prosecutors another bargaining bite in the plea bargain process, which is essential in stinging costs in an overcrowded court system. | Overview/Background The United States remains in the minority of nations in the world that still uses death as penalty for certain crimes. numer ous see the penalty as barbaric and against American values. Others see it as a very important tool in fighting violent pre-meditated murder.Two things have once again brought this issue to guinea pig debate. One is the release of some highly publicise studies that show a number of innocents had been put to death. The mo is the issue of terrorism and the need to punish its perpetrators. Yes ? Financial costs to taxpayers of capital punishment is several times that of keeping someone in prison for life. most(prenominal) people dont realize that carrying out one death sentence costs 2-5 times more than keeping that same criminal in prison for the rest of his life. How can this be?It has to do with the endless appeals, additional required procedures, and legal wrangling that drag the process out. Its not unusual for a prisoner to be on death row for 15-20 years. Judges, attorneys, court reporters, clerks, and court facilities all require a substantial coronation by the taxpayers. Do we really have the resources to angry? ? It is barbaric and violates the â€Å"cruel and unusual” clause in the Bill of Rights. Whether its a firing squad, electric chair, gunman chamber, lethal injection, or hanging, its barbaric to allow state-sanctioned murder before a crowd of people.We condemn people like Ahmadinejad, Qaddafi, and Kim Jong Il when they murder their own people trance we continue to do the same (although our procedures for allowing it are obviously more exhaustive). The 8th Amendment of the U. S. Constitution prevents the use of â€Å"cruel and unusual punishment”. Many would return the death penalty as violating this restriction. ? The endless appeals and required additional procedures clog our court system. The U. S. court system goes to enormous lengths before allowing a death sentence to be carried out. All the appeals, motions, hearings, briefs, etc. onopolize much of the time of judges, attorneys, and other court employees as well as u se up courtrooms & facilities. This is time & space that could be used for other on the fence(p) matters. The court system is tremendously backed up. This would help move things along. ? We as a society have to move away from the â€Å"eye for an eye” revenge mentality if civilization is to advance. The â€Å"eye for an eye” mentality will neer solve anything. A revenge philosophy inevitably leads to an endless cycle of violence. why do you think the Israeli-Palestine conflict has been going on for 60 years?Why do you think gang violence in this country never seems to end? It is important to send a message to society that striking back at your antagonist purely for revenge will always make matters worse. ? It sends the wrong message: why kill people who kill people to show killing is wrong. Yes, we want to make sure there is accountability for crime and an effective deterrent in place; however, the death penalty has a message of â€Å"You killed one of us, so well kill you”. The state is actually using a murder to punish someone who committed a murder. Does that make sense? Life in prison is a worse punishment and a more effective deterrent. For those of you who dont feel much sympathy for a murderer, keep in mind that death may be too good for them. With a death sentence, the suffering is over in an instant. With life in prison, the pain goes on for decades. Prisoners are confined to a cage and live in an internal surroundings of rape and violence where theyre treated as animals. And consider terrorists. Do you think theyd rather suffer the shame of lifelong prison or be â€Å"martyred” by a death sentence?What would have been a better ending for Osama bin Laden, the bullet that killed him instantly, or a life of humiliation in an American prison (or if he was put through translation to obtain more information). ? Other countries (especially in Europe) would have a more favorable image of America. Its no secret that a nti-Americanism is rampant some the world. One of the reasons is Americas go along use of the death penalty. Were seen as a violent, spiteful nation for such a policy. This is pretty much the same view that Europeans had of America when we continued the practice of slavery long after it had been banned in Europe. Some jury members are reluctant to convict if it means putting someone to death. Many states require any jury members to be polled during the pre-trial examination to be sure they have the stomach to sentence someone to death before theyre allowed to serve. plane if theyre against the death penalty, they still may lie in order to get on the panel. The thought of agreeing to kill someone even influences some jury members to acquit rather than try the death. Some prosecutors may go for a lesser charge rather than force juries into a death-or-acquit choice.Obviously, in all these situations, justice may not be served. ? The prisoners family must suffer from seeing their l oved one put to death by the state, as well as going through the emotionally-draining appeals process. One victims innocent family is obviously forced to suffer from a capital murder, but by enforcing a death sentence, you force another family to suffer. Why double the suffering when we dont have to? ? The possibility exists that innocent men and women may be put to death. There are several put down cases where DNA testing showed that innocent people were put to death by the government.We have an imperfect justice system where poor defendants are given minimal legal attention by a good deal lesser qualified individuals. Some would blame the court system, not that death penalty itself for the problems, but we cant risk mistakes. ? Mentally ill patients may be put to death. Many people are simply born with defects to their brain that cause them to act a certain way. No amount of drugs, schooling, rehabilitation, or positive reinforcement will change them. Is it fair that someone sho uld be murdered just because they were unlucky enough to be born with a brain defect.Although it is technically unconstitutional to put a mentally ill patient to death, the rules can be vague, and you still need to be able to convince a judge and jury that the defendant is in fact, mentally ill. ? It creates sympathy for the monstrous perpetrators of the crimes. Criminals usually are looked down upon by society. People are disgusted by the vile, unconscionable acts they commit and feel tremendous sympathy for the victims of murder, rape, etc. However, the death penalty has a way of shifting sympathy away from the victims and to the criminals themselves.An excellent example is the execution a few years ago of former gang draw â€Å"Tookie” Williams. He was one of the original members of the notorious Crips gang, which has a long legacy of robbery, assault, and murder. This is a man who was convicted with sweep over evidence of the murder of four people, some of whom he shot in the back and then laughed at the sounds they made as they died. This is a man who never even took responsibility for the crimes or apologized to the victims — NOT at one time! These victims had kids and spouses, but instead of sympathy for them, sympathy shifted to Tookie. candlelight vigils were held for him.Websites like savetookie. org sprang up. Protests and a media circus ensued trying to prevent the execution, which eventually did take place — 26 years after the crime itself! There are many cases like this, which make a mockery of the evil crimes these degenerates commit. ? It often draws top talent laywers who will work for little or no cost due to the publicity of the case and their personal beliefs against the morality of the death penalty, increasing the chances a technicality or a manipulated jury will release a guilt person. Top attorneys are world-class manipulators. They know how to report up facts and misdirect thinking.They know how to select juries philanthropic to their side. They know how to find obscure technicalities and use any other means necessary to get their lymph node off without any punishment. Luckily, most criminal defendants cannot allow to hire these top guns; they must make do with a low-paid public defender or some other cheaper attorney. However, a death penalty case changes everything. First of all, a death penalty case almost always garners significant media attention. Lawyers want that exposure, which enhances their holler recognition & reputation for potential future plantiffs and defendants.Second of all, thousands of attorneys have made their personal crusade in life the stomping out of the death penalty. Entire organizations have sprung up to fight death penalty cases, often providing all the funding for a legal defense. For an example, look no further than the Casey Anthony trial, in which a crime syndicate of top attorneys took on a high pen death penalty case and used voir dire and perempt ory challenges to craft one of the stupidest juries on record, who ended up ignoring facts and common sense or release an obviously guilty woman who killed her daughter.After the â€Å"not guilty” verdict was rendered, defense attorneys such as Cheney mason went into long-winded speeches for the media about the evils of the death penalty. ? It is useless in that it doesnt bring the victim back to life. Perhaps the biggest reason to ban the death penalty is that it doesnt change the fact that the victim is gone and will never come back. Hate, revenge, and anger will never cure the amour propre of a lost loved one. Forgiveness is the only way to start the healing process, and this wont happen in a revenge-focused individual. No 1. 2.The death penalty gives closure to the victims families who have suffered so much. Some family members of crime victims may take years or decades to recover from the wallop and loss of a loved one. Some may never recover. One of the things that h elps hasten this recovery is to turn over some kind of closure. Life in prison just means the criminal is still around to haunt the victim. A death sentence brings decisiveness to a horrible chapter in the lives of these family members. 3. It creates another form of crime deterrent. Crime would run rampant as never before if there wasnt some way to deter people from committing the acts.Prison time is an effective deterrent, but with some people, more is needed. Prosecutors should have the option of using a variety of punishments in order to play down crime. 4. Justice is better served. The most fundamental precept of justice is that the punishment should fit the crime. When someone plans and brutally murders another person, doesnt it make sense that the punishment for the perpetrator also be death? 5. Our justice system shows more sympathy for criminals than it does victims. Its time we put the stress of our criminal justice system back on protecting the victim rather than the accused.Remember, a person whos on death row has almost always committed crimes before this. A long line of victims have been waiting for justice. We need justice for reliable and past victims. 6. It provides a deterrent for prisoners already serving a life sentence. What about people already sentenced to life in prison. Whats to stop them from murdering people everlastingly while in prison? What are they going to doâ€extend their sentences? Sure, they can take away some prison privileges, but is this enough of a deterrent to stop the killing? What about a person sentenced to life who happens to escape? Whats to stop him from killing anyone who might ry to bring him in or bound his crime spree? 7. DNA testing and other methods of modern crime scene science can now effectively eliminate almost all uncertainty as to a persons guilt or innocence. One of the biggest arguments against the death penalty is the possibility of error. Sure, we can never completely eliminate all uncerta inty, but nowadays, its about as close as you can get. DNA testing is over 99 percentage effective. And even if DNA testing and other such scientific methods didnt exist, the trial and appeals process is so thorough its next to impossible to convict an innocent person.Remember, a jury of 12 members must unanimously settle down theres not even a reasonable doubt the person is guilty. The number of innocent people that might somehow be convicted is no greater than the number of innocent victims of the murderers who are set free. 8. Prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals another chance to kill. Perhaps the biggest reason to keep the death penalty is to prevent the crime from happening again. The parole system nowadays is a joke. Does it make sense to anyone out-of-door the legal system to have multiple â€Å"life” sentences 20 years or other jiverish?Even if a criminal is sentenced to life without possibility of parole, he still has a chance to kill while in prison, or even worse, escape and go on a crime/murder spree. 9. It contributes to the problem of overpopulation in the prison system. Prisons across the country human face the problem of too many prisoners and not enough space & resources. Each additional prisoner requires a portion of a cell, food, clothing, extra keep an eye on time, and so on. When you eliminate the death penalty as an option, it means that prisoner must be housed for life.Thus, it only adds to the problem of an overcrowded prison system. 10. ————————————————- It gives prosecutors another bargaining chip in the plea bargain process, which is essential in cutting costs in an overcrowded court system. The number of criminal cases that are plea bargained (meaning the accused admits guilt in return for a lesser sentence or some other concession) can be as high as 80 or 90 percent of cases. With the time, cost, and personnel r equirements of a criminal case, there really isnt much of a choice.The vast majority of people that are arraigned are in fact guilty of the crime they are accused. Even if you believe a defendant only deserves life in prison, without the threat of a death sentence, there may be no way to get him to plead guilty and accept the sentence. If a case goes to trial, in addition to the enormous cost, you run the chance that you may lose the case, meaning a violent criminal gets off scot free. The existence of the death penalty gives prosecutors much more flexibility and power to operate just punishments. Introduction\r\n'
