Faith Hathaway Was 17 Analysis

Decent Essays
I feel that Criminals should not escape their fate of death their wrongdoing has a consequence and they should face that consequence and not leave “ loved ones who are left behind to pick up the pieces”. No mother/father should outlive their child. For a criminal to get away with that is a crime in itself. The criminals who kill the innocent children deserve death. The “capital punishment has been reserved for the worst of the worst”, meaning that you have to be truly rotten to get this verdict. An example to show the horrors is “Faith Hathaway was 17”, only 17 that's a young girl who was abducted raped “stabbed 17 times”, and then raped again. If you aren't disgusted with the human being(s) who did this then I have nothing to say to you.

    I do not believe that society has any right to decide if a person lives to see another day. However, I do not support the criminals and their actions. Of course, what they did was wrong, but I have always been taught that two wrongs do not make a right. It is known that more than two countries a year, on average, have abolished The Death Penalty completely. In 1999, ninety-eight people were killed in 20 states.…

    I agree that the cost of having someone on the death penalty and putting someone through it is very expensive but for a the victims families it can be the only form of closure available to them. The death penalty is also said to be too “harsh” of a punishment but I think if a criminal murders someone or rapes someone then that is totally justifiable for the death penalty. Of course the extra time and ridiculous cost of the death penalty is frowned upon, but I do think that the version of the death penalty can be vastly improved…

    Good morning, my name is Ursula. In today’s presentation, I am going to introduce George Orwell’s short story “a hanging”. The author put his wrath and objection on this fiction. I’d like to cover four points in my speaking: the wrong of taking another one’s life; people have no right to execute the capital punishment to the prisoners. And I will put these two parts together to introduce.…

    In my opinion i think that kids shouldn't be sentenced to life in prison, because they are yet developing and understanding the world as its known. In other cases kids are trapped into a society where everything they do its cool. Kids shouldn't be in these kind of problems because they have not yet known the world but doing life for they have no chance on living again. Therefore people have spent more than million of dollars to set this kids free because of their age but the victims families have not yet been supported. We are not the only country sentencing kids life in prison which there are farther thing that we yet not might know.…

    If a child commits murder, is it ok? If a child commits murder are we supposed to turn the other cheek? If your loved one was murdered by a child, how would you feel? Although many may say children are innocent and have a future and presumably so, however who are we to say they won't make poor decisions in the future? We cannot assume reasonably and responsibly that they won't be a threat in their future, and quite honestly why take a chance?…

    Capital punishment is an outdated method to deal with prisoners that have committed dreadful felonies. Currently 32 states have the death penalty in the United States. The U.S. is the only country on the western hemisphere with this punishment while countries in the middle east still have it. Since 1970, 1,400 felonies have been executed and 28 death penalties this past year. In due time the death penalty will be removed and with America’s luck that’s going to be the same era, where crime levels around the nation increase.…

    Capital punishment is practically barbarian. It does not suit the times society functions within. Although many states and countries have rid their legislature of such a notion, we must actively pursue the conformity of every government world-wide. The murder of murderers is not rehabilitation by any stretch. Convicts require aid, therapy, and understanding of circumstances.…

    Guilty Until Proven Innocent - The Death Penalty In 2005, the supreme court struck down the death penalty for juveniles. The United States was one of the last countries that still allowed capital punishment for offenders under 18 years of age, along with Saudi Arabia,Sudan,Iran,and Yemen, and it only took them 105 years and 26 teenage and child lives. Capital punishment in the united states has been in place since the burning of Captain George Kendall for being a spy. Since then, 1,392 american lives have been executed for their crimes, and now, there are currently 3,035 people are living their lives on the fearful death row, and since 62% of Americans support capital punishment, it seems that the Death Penalty isn’t going anywhere soon, but…

    Controversial topics have been in our nations politics since the beginning of our government’s creation. One of these that still comes up today is that regarding the death penalty and if it should be legal or not, even more so if it is humane or inhumane. Almost all death penalty cases involve the execution of murderers although capital punishment can also be applied to a variety of crimes, the list just goes on for other crimes. Ultimately we should be asking ourselves the moral question surrounding capital punishment in the United States, which has to do with whether a convicted criminal of certain crime deserve to die or not, which crimes we deem permissible, and whether government or us as people in general deserve to kill those who have to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.…

    All of these subjects and opinions are very contradicting in themselves. When I think of an absolute side, the other side seems to have logic to it as well. There are many different things that could change my opinion on this subject. I think that people who commit murder should have to suffer in prison for an extended period of time. They should not have the freedoms that other people have.…

    Research paper According to deathpenaltyinfo.org, 8032 people were sentenced to death in the United States between 1977 and 2012. While I do agree with receiving positive and negative consequences for the choices that individuals make, there are other factors that contribute for the death penalty to be considered. Tax dollars spent (financial interests), the golden rule (moral interests) and racial inequities (judicial prejudice) need to be considered.…

    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.…

    The first reason capital punishment should be abolished is it is barbaric, for instance, prisoners are injected with chemicals, much like an animal is when it is euthanized. When a human being is executed in the same manner as an animal it makes a statement of how society values human life. Humans deserve rehabilitation and forgiveness because all are capable of these things all should be given every opportunity to utilize these capabilities, before being put down as if that was beyond possibilities. Speaking of possibilities, the second reason the death penalty is barbaric, there are recorded cases of innocent people being executed according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, “four percent of prisoners sentenced to…
