Debate: Keep The Death Penalty

Criminals should be scared of death. Extreme criminals such as Jeffrey Dahmer
Is sadly one of the reasons we have such a high stake of consequences in some states of our own country of the United States. Such as the death penalty. Lets just say what if for a second. Jeffrey Dahmer or also known as the Milwaukee cannibal kidnapped your beloved child which he has a background of doing. And sexually violated your young child and also dismembered them and then participated in what we call necrophilia. And then to top it off kept several skeletal bones of the young boys skeleton. Criminals like Jeffrey Dahmer are a disgrace to human kind. Though no one deserves to die as much as the next guy. But yet it is very

But actually execution only indeed happens when all of their appeals have been exhausted and they have spent there last 24 hours.
False accusations happened in every system there ever has been in the history of this earth but such as how in recent studies show 10,000 people are falsely accused each year of serious crimes. Saying that as an example for a fact to push the death penalty would be frowned upon due to every system in the book having flaws.

People on death row are evil. For example Jesse Anderson was a murder he stabbed in wife thirty seven times. Also Jeffrey Dahmer was a horrible man. He raped, murdered and dismembered 17 boys often keeping parts of their body such as the skeleton. To make it worse he even involved necrophilia and cannibalism in his crimes. This man has no care for life and caused fear and sadness in the state of Wisconsin.
So furthermore what is the value of the lives of these infamous killers after what they have done to other citizens? They have no respect for

People are hurt for hearing information that they thought was true, but it wasn’t.

    But, what she found out over time was that her pain will never be fully healed, whether her daughters killer is executed, or tortured and then executed. By torturing the killer, it will cause her to have more self satisfaction, but overall, straight execution will be safer for society and keep her more at ease, than if he was still alive, and just sentenced to life in prison. In addition, Florida therapist Lula Redmond states her personal opinion on execution as a whole. She states that: “More often than not, families of murder victims do not experience the relief they expected to feel at the execution. ‘Talking a life doesn't fill that void, but it’s generally not until after the execution [that the families] realize this.…

    Throughout history there have been thousands of “false” trials. These trials were based around false accusations. The trials most notable for accusations without the clearest of evidence was the Salem witch trials, hundreds were killed for being suspicious and never indicating that they were actual witches. Everyone who died in Salem and everyone who is serving or served an undeserved sentence have or at least had families, career opportunities, a career, in short a life. All of these get ripped away from people even after the person accusing them has admitted to being a liar after the innocent has served time or, a portion of his/her sentence. The acts of a false charge is not as well recognized of a felony, and should be treated much more severely.…

    I read thesilentvoicesofmississippi.blogsopt.com, and found the last man who I'm going to mention, Leo Jones. He was executed in 1998 for murdering a police officer in Florida. Although Jones confessed 12 hours after the murder, he was forced to say he did it during hours of intimidating police interrogations, where they threatened his life and made him play Russian roulette. One witness believed that the police department was out to get Jones because he had assaulted an officer in the past. The same two arresting officers were released from the department shortly after for using violence in other cases.…

    Although many view capital punishment or the death penalty as cruel and unusual punishment it is still strongly used today in the United States. In today’s time people discuss capital punishment when referring to criminals such as the Mason Family, OJ Simpson, Bonnie and Clyde, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Tedd Bundy, Amy Fisher, and Al Capone who were all hardcore criminals. However not everyone views capital punishments as cruel and unusual, some have religious factors to consider. Most major world religions take a puzzling position on the morality of capital punishment. Religions are often based on a body of teachings the standards of present-day Western civilization, and the Old Testament. A few public…

    No one should have the right to say when someone else’s life is to end. Much like the laws there are lots of things that you can do, but just because you can do these things does not mean that it is necessary to do them. As innocence projects across the country can prove to, the criminal justice system does not always get it right – even for the most monstrous crimes. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, there have been 142 exemptions of death row inmates since 1973. Unfortunately, the system is not flawless, and sometimes…

    What the public does not realize is the norm appearance of a serial executioner does not conform to a mold. Even the Daily Mail claims that there are five key traits of a typical killer. Power junkie, manipulating, average joe, superficial charmer, and egotistical bragger are all traits of a mass murder.

    Death Row

    In the justice system, there comes a time or two when a criminal is sentenced to the death penalty. It takes a huge amount of evidence to convict and sentence a criminal to this kind of capital punishment. Not only does the criminal spend time awaiting lethal injection when it is their time to serve out their sentence, but the criminal also has to wait on average twelve years for this sentence (Death Penalty Information Center 2013). During this time (up to twelve years) the criminal is confined to a single cell by themselves for an average of twenty-three hours a day (Death Penalty Information Center 2013). Only having one hour a day with people is considered extreme isolation for the criminals on death row. The extreme isolation the criminals withstand on death row can easily cause mental illness. Death row criminals do not have the same rights as other criminals and are not able to receive education training or be able to work (Death Penalty Information Center 2013). Death row criminals cannot do anything besides wait, which is an average of twelve years. This is a major problem with this type of capital punishment. Criminals who have been sentenced to the death penalty should receive their punishment within a year of conviction because it would reduce the criminals’ time in isolation, reduce overpopulation issues within prisons, and it brings closure to the victims’ families in a more reasonable time.…
