Twelve years later the Texas Forensic Science Commission found that the evidence provided was wrongfully interpreted, and the evidence used against Willingham became invalid. The worst part about this heartbreaking story was that it was later known that the fire was actually accidental, and the mistakes of people costed an innocent man his life.

    I understand that there are some people who are found guilty of murder or many unimaginable crimes but I believe the death penalty is an easy way out. I also believe that maybe the evidence used in court could be non-substantial and easily make a wrongly accused person granted a death penalty. There are cases today where wrongly accused people are serving long term sentences and some found not guilty in a re-trial. 4.…

    The main argument being that the death penalty is ethically wrong and it is a violation to human rights. In the public eye, all the valid arguments supporting capital punishment do not outweigh the cons which is seen in the “148-127 [vote] [on] not to reinstate the death penalty” (Gendreau, 2006). One of the reasons that this method of punishment is so unethical is the possibility of executing an innocent person. A study was conducted in the U.S., which revealed that a minimum of 4.1% of all criminals sentenced to the death penalty are not guilty of the crime. Humans are fallible, and it is for this reason why the innocent are wrongly convicted ultimately ending their life.…

    Prison and jail’s are ill equipped to deal with the ever growing number of mentally ill prisoners that society has shunned. Living in a 4X8 room day after day, week after week, and month after month takes a toll on even the healthiest of inmates. Stopping this form of torture is not up to the jails, police and courts, their hands are tied. These inmates need compassion and a way to deal with their demons that only first hand medical services can provide. Adam Gopnik a writer for the New Yorker and article author of “The Caging of America” argues and I agree “how is it that our civilization, which rejects hanging and flogging and disembowelling, came to believe that caging vast numbers of people for decades is acceptable humane sanctions?”…

    Samantha, You are correct in saying that execution is flawed because it leaves the margin of hope for error. However, this margin of error applies to all crimes and sentences. False imprisonment could happen to any innoccent person for stealing a sticker to being a serial killer. Their is always a slim chance of inadequacy in everysystem, but I truly believe that America has the most just court system. That is why they allow inmates to appeal from deathrow in favor of innocence or lessening of sentence.…

    In the past twenty years DNA evidence has come to light that has proven one hundred and fifty three people innocent of the crimes that they were put on death row for committing (Source D). This means that one hundred and fifty three people were almost murdered for crimes that they did not commit. The error that occurs in deciding whether or not a person should be put on death row or not is described in Source D as, “criminal-justice systems are flawed because they rely on human beings who can err through honest mistakes, greed, fraud, and other frailties of the flesh.” Human beings are not perfect and make many mistakes, yet they are trusted to make claims and decisions that are quite literally life or death. Source E pokes fun at this margin of error by presenting a cartoon, stating that less than a quarter of all death penalty cases have no error in them.…

    Capital punishment should be abolished because it is too expensive to retain, it is revenge not justice, and it 's possible for innocent people to be executed. The execution of human life should not be something we advocate here in the United States, it’s sad that as a nation we preach peace while still executing our citizens. The millions of dollars being wasted on executions could be spent improving our criminal justice system, and in doing so, improve our country. Not only is the death penalty a waste of our hard earned tax dollars, but it also puts innocent lives at risk. Mistreated or mishandled evidence can easily put an innocent life on death row.…
