Abstract
The debate over the death penalty appears to have been one of the most argued actions that the justice system has had to decide upon. Which cases are those that will be the ones in which the ultimate penalty is pursued? Does the seeking of the death penalty depend upon the crime that has been committed, the social class of the person that was killed, or the race and monetary value of the person that committed the crime? These are only a small portion of the things that are looked at when someone is for or against the death penalty. And there is no shortage of defenders on either of side of the argument. The debate stems from
They would have pundits that would restate the events that led to the murders. The point that they all seemed to be stuck on was one that was repeated by both the professional reporters and those interviewed in the crowd that had massed outside the courthouse. Everyone it appears wanted to know and understand how Mr. Johnson, the driver of the cab, who never went into the house at the crime scene, and clearly had never known that the couple was going to be killed, was given the death penalty. Mr. Carter, the hit man ,who confessed and in doing so told the courts that the driver never knew what was going to happen, and was not involved, was given what appeared to be a slap on the hand. Naturally the cable and local news feeds were really playing race card, saying that the penalties were the result of racial bias because the shooter happened to be white, and the cab driver was
If one tries hard enough they can research and find the statistics that will help them back their position in the ongoing debate. The fact that the debate is ongoing provides the fuel to both sides to push their agenda and hope that the undecided voters in the debate will take up their side and push the numbers up on one side that the opposite side can’t dispute and finally bring closure to the question of vengeance or deterrent, as opposed to unlawful state sanctioned murder or legal justice. Factors that are used for and against the death penalty are not always the exact opposites that one might suspect. It is not as clear as night and day, or hot and cold. Those that are in favor of the death penalty base their support on the factors that the death penalty is a deterrent to those that commit horrendous crimes such as rape, kidnapping, and the killing of a police officer. Those opposed to the death penalty point to the fact that the statics say that is not the case. They cite how states with death penalty laws do not have lower serious crime rates than states that do not have the death penalty laws. In fact, there is actually proof that their murder rate is higher. This has been thought to be supported by the fact in those death penalty states rates are higher because the person that is committing a crime feels that if they let the person live they will have to face them in court if
