    In a case involving Joseph Carl Shaw, Buck outlines the morality of condemning a man by the same means he was convicted, murder. Shaw was convicted of murdering two teen girls while employed at Fort Jackson and later sentenced to the electric chair. Shaw’s last words were, ‘Killing was wrong when I did it. It is wrong when you do it…’ (Buck 490). One can certainly notice the irony of such a situation. Why would the government of a state use murder to bring a murderer to justice? Buck shakes the…

There is no way to compensate a person that has been put…
