Wrongful execution

and place in American society today. Edward I. Koch served as mayor of the state of New York for eleven years and was involved in public service for a total of twenty years. In his essay titled, “Death and Justice: How Capital Punishment Affirms Life,” Koch was adamant that the death penalty affirmed the highest value for human life by being the highest penalty (Koch 486). Professor of law David Bruck countered this idea in his response essay, “The Death Penalty.” Bruck expressed his opinion that the death penalty creates “an attitude towards human life that is not reverent, but reckless” (Bruck 493).

Koch proposed that while people will always be made uncomfortable by death itself, when it comes to cold-blooded killers there is no other adequate punishment (Koch 484). He argued that the death penalty is a necessary evil that provides the maximum consequence and delivers the message that injustice will not be tolerated. In order to display how that message resonates, Koch shared what he considered to be ironic final words of inmates approaching their death. He quoted a convict from South Carolina named Joseph Carl Shaw who stated, “Killing was wrong when I did it. Killing is wrong when you do…

These vases are not for us, nor are they for sale. Once finished, they will be brought upstairs and presented to a patient. The expertly…
