During the parole board hearing of OJ Simpson really evoked an emotion out of me. OJ Simpson 's demeanor during the hearing would catch anyone 's attention. This was due to the relatively calm mannerisms that OJ had presented himself with. He appeared to be humble, to be sensitive, and apologetic for the acts he had committed to getting himself incarcerated. The media showed a glimpse of a contraction to their norms and it really stuck out. In Life without Parole, Hassine gave humanity…

One of those topics is Capital Punishment. “Many political philosophers today think of justice as fundamentally about fairness, while those who defend capital punishment typically hold that justice is fundamentally about desert (Aspenson).” While one side is for the use of capital punishment there are others who are greatly opposed to that penalty. “While…
