    Death penalty is a legal process in which a person who commits a crime that is so unconceivable is put to death by the state. When we look at it at a certain point of view‚ we can see that the death penalty system in action can be used as a deterrent to society who might want to commit a crime.

    I support the death penalty‚ in certain cases. Some people do horrible things‚ and they don’t deserve to live when their victims died.

However‚ I’m totally against the death penalty if the person is innocent. For example‚ John Coffey got framed for a murder he didn’t commit because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    In Support of the Death Penalty Introduction From the ethical perspective of philosopher John Rawls who said that justice should be described as“ a fair system of arrangements; one that the parties can agree to without knowing how it will benefit them personally” ‚ the death penalty must be considered just and right as it creates a fair balance between the act that has been committed and the punishment that has been dealt (Williams 78).
