Ron Fridell's Argument Against The Death Penalty

He will not be in my head. " That was a quote from a father who had lost his daughter from a serial killer. To conclude, society wants to feel safe. "I believe the death penalty should be used sparingly for heinous, forensically supported crimes. In these cases, I truly believe that our foremost responsibility is to ensure our own safety and that of our children and our communities," (-Anonymous).

Herrnstein and Wilson’s example of some cases of criminals, on the death penalty row, tried to reduce their sentences to life imprisonment may be atomistic to extend to the entire society or criminals to show that they fear the death penalty more than other humane punishment. Since this deterrence is not measurable, Bedau offered a moral principle that “unless there is a good reason for choosing a more rather than less severe punishment for a crime, the less severe penalty is to be preferred.” With that, choosing another humane punishment over the death penalty is more morally permissible. Pojman also conceded by stating that “it seems likely that the death penalty does not deter as much as it could due to its inconsistent and rare use” in reality. Even when the death penalty is carried out, it is shield away from the public’s eye; thus it does not produce any deterrence effects (Kramer,

(Steinbeck 98). This passage shows that George didn't want Lennie to have a painful death. Important to realize, “ An’s’ pose as they lock him up an’ strap him down and put him in a cage, that ain’t no good, George” ( Steinbeck 97). In other words George never wanted Lennie to be treated poorly or be harmed, he wanted Lennie to be cared for, but since he killed Curley's wife they are no out looking for him. George can no longer protect Lennie, he rather end his life with happy feelings, than to suffer a terrible death.

Finally, should George go to jail for killing Lennie? I believe that George helped Lennie by keeping him out of a home for the mental. Also i believe that George did the right thing because Curley was gonna kill him or even worse beat him to death. Although people believe George shouldn 't have killed him and he should 've let the police deal with him it would have most likely made things

Killing another seems very unjustifiable, which might be the case but when someone takes another 's life and sent to prison, death row or capital punishment is needed to put that person were they belong. People like that deserve to die because of their mistake of killing another and it deters other people to not kill others, showing them what would happen. In the case of Capital Punishment, Hunting for Sport, or George and Lennie, killing is a justifiable act. In the case of capital punishment killing is justified and needs to be done. For example, “Some crimes are so inherently evil they demand strict penalties up to and including death”(McClatchy).

“To take a life when a life has been lost is revenge, not justice.” -Desmond Tutu. This quote suggests why sentencing one to death after they have taken the life of another is not solving the problem. At most, it is helping to catalyze the grief and loathing towards those who have made mistakes.

(C) Explain the absurd elements of Meursault 's trial. / It seems as if he is being judged for not feeling sad over his mother’s death instead of being judged for killing the Arab man. They are judging his character rather than his case. The judge should focus on his crime rather than how he acts. It was unfair for the judge to order his execution for not having the same feelings about the world as everyone else

Often, a conviction of a certain crime will cost the defendant their career, certifications, and family, so allowing them to take a plea bargain will avoid losing what is important to them. The majority will learn from their mistake and never repeat the offense again. Some will not learn from their mistake or second chance and become repeat offenders. The repeat offenders will then sustain harsher punishment and a plea bargain is usually off of the table.

Even before Bryan Stevenson started representing people on death row, he was opposed to capital punishment. To him, the act of killing someone who is found guilty of murder only to demonstrate that killing is wrong, does not make logical sense. He believes that the death penalty is a punishment rooted in hopelessness and anger. It’s because of his moral and religious background that he believes no one is just a crime, we are more than the worst thing we’ve ever done. According to Stevenson, capital punishment in America is a lottery.

man supports the central idea that everyone isn’t always how they seem to be and this is shown because when you’re friends with someone their true identity will eventually reveal itself at some point in time. “Iago: I’m bleeding, but you didn’t kill me.” “Othello: I’m not sorry, either. I want you to live, since to me, death is happiness.” (Act 5, Scene 2, Page 16)

Unfortunately, our justice system is not always accurate and faulty cases slip through the cracks. Families of innocent people should not be made to suffer for the inadequacy of the death penalty. Capital punishment poses a large risk to innocent people and their families.courts can sentence murderers to life without parole, why not get rid of the death penalty? The death penalty is the most horrible punishment of execution that the united state of america has allowed. It seems that our government is being hypocritical when it states that capital punishment is allowable because, after all, the criminal did murder an innocent victim, and therefore should be killed.

The street would be cleaner and safer. The simple-minded fact that the death penalty is an impelling method to mete out punishment for atrocious, vile, monstrous crime. Those who commit barbarous crime should be put to death and not letting them free to society where it would be dangerous for the

Dubus has the reader questioning if inflicting revenge on Richard is ethical thing to do since the legal system failed in serving the appropriate punishment. In the story, Matt is thinking about taking Richard 's life because he killed his son and Dubus has the reader on his side. Releasing Richard on bail is an unjust decision made by the legal system because the crime does not match the punishment. Nobel peace prize winner Martin Luther King Jr says “ How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others? The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust.

As a result of, the victim knowingly or unknowingly having trickled a nerve of theirs. George was trying to do the complete opposite. In this case, all he wanted to do was avoid the town’s men killing his beloved friend Lennie, and ensure he died the most comfortable and least painful way possible George did not have the mental state to kill Lennie, Lennie Smalls to him is what some might call “a brother from another mother.” My client dedicated his life to ensure Lennie’s safety and well-being.

The process is needed to ensure that the innocent men and woman are not executed for crimes they did not commit, and even if those protections the risk of executing an innocent person can not be complete eliminated. According to the reporter of working for alternative to the death penalty, in the article The High Cost of the Death Penalty, “If the death penalty was replaced with a sentence of life without the possibility of parole”, (1). Basically the reporter is stating that it will cost millions of dollars less and ensure that the public will be protected while trying to eliminating the risks of irreversible mistake with money when the money could be used on
