Krone is an average American who was on death role. “Freed Man Talking; Death Penalty System Broken” by Ray Krone, can help our lives because it identifies one of our defects in our justice system which is innocent people being convicted of a crime they had no involvement in. In the Article “Frees Man Talking; Death Penalty System Broken” …show more content…

The justice system is not perfect and will probably never be but we as people should and will improve our justice system. Krone realizes a major problem in our justice system and will try to improve it because what happens to Krone and others can happen to anyone including me. Krone writes “I've learned that there are steps our nation can take to improve our death penalty system one important step will be for congress to pass the innocent protection act which would ensure that people who face the death penalty have greater access to the DNA from their cases”(156). The innocent protection act is Krone way to improve the system for all who could have gone through the same problems as him. Krone was an average American nothing more. Krone wants us the readers to know that he is a normal average American and he explains how. Krone writes “I'm not a prize winning columnist. or a politician. or head of any organization. I'm simply an average American”(155). This helps us understand that Krone is a normal person who's innocent and somehow still was convicted of murder. More than less anyone could be convinced of a crime of any and the only thing we the people can do is to improve the justice system so less people are wrongly

    For the most part I agree with the writer idea. I like what the writer said how the justice was served by the court. Kinkl murdered 4 people and attempted 26 murder case, so he deserve 112 years to be in prison. Even though Kinkl has a mental disorder problem, he was a danger to the community and needed to be watched by the government for the public safety. The audience can clearly see what happened on the Kiniakl cause from the court report that is presented.

  • A Brief Summary Of Just Mercy By Bryon Stevenson

    646 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the book Just Mercy, by Bryon Stevenson, he shares the story of his upbringing as a lawyer and company Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama. Through his career, he was able to understand the full extent of mercy and its ability to bring out people’s humanity. Additionally, Stevenson argues how people who act upon prejudiced beliefs are just as broken as those who have been condemned to life in prison without parole and on death row, because they have all been defeated by a sense of hopelessness and animosity within their own lives. In my critique, I describe my new found understanding of the cruelty behind the death penalty. Moreso, the trauma and brutality it brings to all the players involved, especially to those who are placed on death row.

    The biases within the justice system make it impossible to evaluate whether or not a person truly deserves to die. In Bryan Stevenson’s memoir, Just Mercy, Walter Mcmillian receives a death sentence despite being innocent. The media and the corrupt officers made it difficult for Stevenson to change the minds of others. While Stevenson was pushing for others to recognize that Walter was innocent, he realized that Tom Chapman, a prosecutor to Walter, just like others was “trapped into this narrative just like everyone else involved” (Stevenson,112). The modern media effectively creates narratives in which Black Americans are seen as suspicious or criminals.
