Imagine witnessing a murder. We all would like to think we would have the moral courage to do something. Somehow intervene and save the victim, like super heroes do in movies. However, the reality of it is most people would walk away and not get involved. Bystanders have a responsibility to intervene when there is trouble. They should intervene for three reasons: 1. Expecting someone else to help puts a victim in more danger, 2. Intervening could make the difference in a life and death…

the death penalty should be opposed in all cases without exception regardless of the nature of the crime or the characteristics of the offender or the method used by the state to kill the prisoner. The death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights. It is the process of a cold-blooded murder committed by the goverment in the name of justice. It constitutes a violation of the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration. Just as there can not be a justification for torture or…

Solving a murder in the 1920s was a lot harder compared to today. Without modern technology it is very hard to track down people, and prove the case. Although cases were solved, it took an extremely long time and a lot of work to do so. Some cases, on the other hand, were never solved and continue to be a mystery. The Hall Mills murder case is one of the most controversial murders of all times. There are many possible reasons to why they were killed, why the murderer killed them, and even some…

The death…

My persuasive essay is about the death penalty. I do not think that the death penalty should be allowed in the United States because of the fact it cost a lot of money and our government cannot afford to spend thousands and millions of dollars to harm another human being. And if we have a death penalty what if that person who was sentenced to death and already died was innocent for that crime. For instance there was a colored man in jail for armed robbery and let’s say he was protecting the…
