Should The Death Penalty Be Abolished?

Gary Graham an 18 year old male who was convicted for robbery and murder, with only one witness that claimed she saw him from her windshield thirty to forty feet away. Gary was executed in 2000, 19 years later after being convicted. Imagine someone being sentenced for 19 years, let alone a teenager for being accused with no physical evidence.

How come there wasn't another option for him? Because the system is cruel and undermines
