    On July 7, 1865, Mary Surratt walked to her death. Because of her supposed involvement in Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Mary was sentenced to death by hanging (Kingseed). Mary transferred binoculars and shooting irons to her tavern for Booth, lied to the authorities claiming to not know Lewis Powell, and her son, John H. Surratt Jr., was a confederate spy and was suspected of helping with the president’s assassination. This evidence was enough for Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, the official in charge of locating and capturing Lincoln’s killer and conspirators, to condemn Mary Surratt to death. There have been many arguments and opinions over the years about whether or not Mary’s sentence was justified.…

    The illusion of death row inmates fitting a cookie cutter description is not true. Inmates on death row come from various socio-economic backgrounds and careers. Not all death row inmates are guilty. In 2004, the state of Texas executed Cameron Todd Willingham for allegedly setting his home on fire, killing his three daughters. However, it was the work of the Innocence Project (Garland, September, 13, 2010) proving the forensic and informant attested in court was invalid and just not true; hence, an innocent man was executed.…

The news media also covered how flawed the system was and how people that were innocent were put on death row without a fair trial. This change in media coverage “has highlighted problems in the death penalty’s application” as written in the Washington Post (2013). In an editorial done in the New York Times, they looked into the American justice system and capital punishment in a piece called “The Innocent on Death Row”. It looked at a the case of Henry Lee McCollum and Leon Brown, who were convicted and put on death row after being arrested for the rape, beating and murder of a young girl in 1983.…

    Should the UK bring back the death penalty? The death penalty has always been very important in many first world countries, and cities. Its implementation has been regarded as a necessary punishment for criminals that have done something unforgivable or done something against the law; for example, killing has always been the main example of a crime that people have been sentenced to death for. The US, China and Saudi Arabia countries where world leaders have authority, still use the death penalty and see it as a tool to scare and control the people to stop doing major crimes, but countries like the UK and most of Europe have stopped this death penalty due to it being too inhumane and savage as they think people should not be killed by other people, whatever the case.…

    As John Morrison exclaimed,“It should be clear that the death penalty does just the opposite of promoting decency and respect for life... It can never be applied fairly.” Since the mid nineteenth century, inmates on death row have been murdered by a plethora of gruesome methods, such as venomous lethal injections, gas chambers, and electrocution. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, there have been 1,413 executions in the United States from 1976 to the present. Although the number of death penalty verdicts are decreasing, flaws in the American judicial system have caused an increase in the amount of punishing wrongfully accused suspects to the death penalty.…
