Life or Death
Out of the 50 states in America 20 of them have abolished the death penalty, and thankfully California has not yet joined the states that have. If people vote to keep it this year, it will not abolish. California needs the death penalty because it helps make this world seem a lot safer. It shows people there is still equal justice in the world. Telling potential criminals that if they are willing to take life, the consequence is their life, it brings justice to the victims and their families. The taxpayers will not spend the rest of their lives supporting murderers, vote yes on prop 66 and no on prop 62.
Life is the most important thing in the world, and no one has the right to take it away from another person, but this is not

He has been put up for parole 12 times since he was convicted. Putting a convicted killer on death row means there is no chance they will ever be released. They may die in prison or put in the chair, either way; they are not getting out and causing a threat to not only the people that convicted them but to the families of the victims as well. By chance, the convicted person released it may cause the family of the victims to take life into their hands knowing that the person that killed their wife, husband, daughter, son, etc. Got parole and out walking the streets.
Using a drug that is used to euthanize animals is wrong to use on human beings. Compared to the history of how a person put to death, a lethal injection is more humane. Hanging 's firing, squads, electric chair, Gas chamber, Are just some of the ways people executed over history. Lethal injection is just one drug shot in the arm to start the heart. If vets use it to cause an animal no pain as they take their last breath than it can utilize on a convicted killer, it is showing the more humanity than they showed their

    This essay analyzes the opinion editorial “No on Prop 62, Yes on Prop 66,” which was published on OsideNews.com. Proposition 62 aims to repeal death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment without possibility of parole, while proposition 66 is designed to shorten the amount of time that legal challenges to death sentences take to a maximum of five years. In her statement, Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert declares her stance on death penalty in an attempt to convince the readers to veto Proposition 62 and support the Proposition 66. She argues that death penalty should not be abolished because criminals such as child rapists and murderers have not been punished for the heinous crimes that they committed years ago. She also adds that the state is unwisely spending the taxpayer’s money catering to offenders.…

    With the hold on executions, the death row keeps growing and California has become the state with the most inmates for capital punishment. In the California 2012 ballot, Proposition 34 was created as a resolution but failed to successfully pass. This controversy of whether the death penalty should be abolished or kept, has brought up similar new initiatives in an effort to repair the system’s problems. The new initiative would propose two paths for the future voters in 2016, either pro-death or anti-death penalty. So as a future voter, concerns arise and the decision to support the anti-death penalty comes with more benefits.…

    Time and money is the reason why California should consider abolishing the death penalty. California spends about four million dollars each year on experienced defense lawyers, to ensure that accused murders do not get executed for a crime they did not do. Maganini is saying that taxpayers would save millions of dollars each year if capital cases did not exist.

    This last dosage of chemical floods the heart with charged particles that interrupt its electrical signaling, stopping it from beating. My thoughts on Capital Punishment are because of my personal beliefs. I don 't think it is right to kill someone for killing someone, especially if they are possibly innocent. It will cost California less to not have capital punishment, and I believe it is worse punishment to have to live the rest of your life in prison until you die rather than lethal injection.…

    The death penalty is the punishment of execution administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime. On November 6, 2012, Californians voted to retain the death penalty in the state.

Legal executions in California were first authorized by the Criminal Practices Act of 1851 (CDCR).…

Well, sentencing someone to capital punishment is in effect killing them. Killing them brings you practically down to the same level as the accused. You are both killing for your own reasons.…
