wife, Kathy, was murdered and almost a year later, Greg was arrested and charged. Greg Wilhoit spent five years of his life on death row after being convicted for murder. Prosecution sought the death penalty and he was condemned to die by lethal injection. After a jury found him guilty of first degree murder, he was later granted a new trial due to inconclusive evidence and the judge issued a verdict of innocence. The death penalty possibly risks the lives of innocent people, it fails to deter…

Jonah Goldberg is the editor of National Review Online and author of The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas. He takes the standpoint in favor of the death penalty and that those who oppose it, whatever the intention, cannot hold against the argument. A minor point of his would be that opponents tend to avoid cases where the audience would not sympathize with their argument. After reading his article “Why Death Penalty Opponents Can’t Win,” I agree with his opinion because…

Capital Punishment is defined as the legally authorized killing of someone as punishment for someone. “In America there has been 1422 executions since 1976 and the number continues to grow week by week” (DPIC 1). Were those lives worth killing just because they killed someone else., or is a double standard present in how the United States government verifies capital punishment. Americans approve the death penalty because it deters crime and morality. A 2010 poll by Lake research showed that “33%…

The death penalty has been used for thousands of years, dating all the way back to Hammurabi’s Code in the 1700s BC, which is most known for its famous line, “an eye for an eye”. It is still in use today, and is the subject of much controversy for a few main reasons. One, some people question the ethics of killing someone. Two, it costs an average of $90,000 more per year per prisoner to keep a prisoner on death row as opposed to a normal jail, according to Rone Tempest, award-winning author of…

but the same concept applies. Today, common methods of the death penalty includes lethal injections, the electric chair, gas chambers, single or group shootings, hangings, beheadings, and stonings. In a lethal injection killing, two IV tubes are put into the victim 's arm. Sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide, or potassium chloride is fed through the tubes. Within a minute or two after the last dose of the drug is given, the executor will declare the victim dead. In the electric chair, the…

are lethal injection, electric chair and firing squad. It is critical that everyone understands what the methods actually are. Lethal injection is the most common way of execution. Three drugs are injected into the one’s body.Soduim thiopental is used to make the person unconscious and Pancuronium bromide is used to paralysis the muscle and causes respiratory arrest.

and locations similar to Aboriginal injection drug users (IDUs) in Saskatchewan. These studies are completed in a range of locations and with target populations that are comparable to Aboriginal IDUs in Saskatchewan. To target individuals, one must focus on individual knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and skills. Strathdee et al. conducted a study to greater understand needle sharing in Vancouver (1997). This case-control study evaluated inquiries focused on drug use, sexual behaviours, source of…

The death penalty should not be legal because it does not deter crime. According to Michael Radelet and Traci Lacock, a professor and a student of Sociology at University of Colorado-Boulder, a 2008 survey showed that 88% of U.S. leading criminologists believe that capital punishment does not deter crime (501) and that less than ten percent of criminologists think that the death penalty is a more effective deterrent than LWOP (503). In fact, not only do experts believe capital punishment does…

Walter McMillian was an African-American person that was accused of killing a white woman in Monroeville, Alabama, and was sentenced to death. The time in which he was judged was just one day and a half, this time, is really short compared to some other cases. There were some African-American witnesses that said that Walter was in another place in the moment of the crime; nonetheless, their alibi was rejected by the jury, but not the alibi of the state’s witnesses. He was on death row, which is…
