Death Penalty
Death Penalty
This paper is to look at the death penalty, in this authors opinion it is a good tool that is not being used to its potential. Serial killers and child murderers should be at the top of the list to be put to death they should get one appeal and this should be done in a speedy fashion. Waiting one year for new evidence is long enough in Texas there are 337 waiting on death row some as long as 1976.
Part 1 Thesis
The inmate that has been on death row is known for laughing about the murder he committed to other inmates. We need to stop wasting tax payer’s money and take all that are supposed to be executed and do it. If we were to execute all 337 within a year this would be a deterrent as it is we are just being laughed at. Right now we spend 2.3 million per case this is out of control spending the inmates cannot afford this so it comes from the tax payer. A fair and speedy trial is granted to each one of us from the 6th amendment. If we are going to let people spend years on death row then they should pay for the bill there are ways this can be done while awaiting an appeal they can farm raise vegetables and cows for food for the prison. This would serve two purposes good exercise for the inmate and food for the prison.
Some say the death penalty is against God and his wishes in the bible there is another version found that says the death penalty honors God. By looking in both the new and the Old Testament there are passages that say this example: Genesis 9:6: "Whoso sheddeth man 's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Revelation 13:10 says, "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be
killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. "Romans 13:1-4: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth
