Nina Cianci      Whoever made this bad of crimes for good amount of time really has no excuse. You need to take the time to find all of the research and background info about the cases/assaults/crimes but for the main point is they deserve the punishment.

To be considered to be put under the death penalty, you must have caused more damage than worth your life, so they do deserve the sentence of death.

# data[].attributes.body
The death penalty should be completely abolished. It is inhumane and we should not give the government the power to take people's lives. Since there is such major risks associated with these executions, it is not a good idea to have them at all. Life in prison would be a better option.

when a person kills, rapes, and kidnaps people, they do not deserve to live. if you live everyday and want to do awful things to people, you shouldn't be able to live your life.

I favor this perspective because of the racial biased shown when it comes to the death penalty. Like the man in the video said, there are way of keeping the death penalty while ensuring a fair justice system for all.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that if you commit such a heinous act that the death penalty is considered and given you probably deserve it.

While I don't believe the death penalty system is perfect, I think that it is necessary to have, as a deterrent to people planning on committing a crime, and to serve justice to the people hurt by the convicted's harmful acts. There are people in this world who are dangers to society if they are left alive, and this is why the capital punishment is necessary. As the issue book says, most inmates released from jail didn't learn from their mistakes and ended up in prison within 5 years of their release. If people don't learn from their mistakes, there is no point of letting them go. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to be changed by their time in jail, and I think some people's idealist views about this corrupt their judgement.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe they deserve the death penalty. People on death row committed the worst of the worst crimes. They are heartless and cruel and deserve the penalty of death. There are rapists murderers and pedophiles on deaths row and I believe they all belong there.

# data[].attributes.body
I favor this perspective because there is bias towards certain people. I think they should be fair.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this perspective because fairness is important when it comes to the death penalty. This would allow all decisions to be fair for all races and all situations. Taking the extra time to better study the issue would allow for no mistakes to be make. This could also help rule out the innocent victims.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that if someone has been doing terrible things such as murdering and raping their victims they deserve to get the death penalty.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this perspective because I think that the death penalty is biased and needs to be reformed and until it is it should be paused.

# data[].attributes.body
I favor this perspective more than the others. The people that have done these terrible things and there is a decision whether they deserve their life or not, I doubt that person will change or become rehabilitated if they were given anything other than life in prison.

# data[].attributes.body
They deserve it. I'm against death in general and I don't believe anybody deserves to lose there life. But these people that get the death penalty are not members of society. They are a threat to society. They are a threat to innocent people that don't deserve death either.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the death penalty should be abolished because of its cruel ways of executions, even though some people may deserve death, these inhumane ways also go to wrongly accused people who have no other choice than to suffer. I feel like life in prison would be better and deal a more long term punishment for those who really deserve it.

This perspective best describes my view on the topic because in an issue like the death penalty, fairness should be the top priority. There is a lot of bias in this country in all cases and it needs to be taken the most serious in these situations.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this perspective is the one I agree with most. When it comes to taking a human life, fairness has the be the top priority. No one should be in pain or fear when they die, and it should be very clear that the convicted person is actually guilty, beyond doubt. In general, I disagree with the use of the death penalty but I understand why some people deserve to die for their crimes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this perspective has the least room for making mistakes if the taking of a life were to occur. This would allow all prisoners on death row to be re-evaluated, have fair sentencing based on race, and make sure that other drugs aren't being used to experiment on people since there is a shortage of the drugs usually used.

# data[].attributes.body
They deserve it. Im not one for killing someone but if someone deserves it and is rightfully convicted then by all means they should be executed.

# data[].attributes.body
They deserve it, i think if you take lives you should get yours taken thats just how it should work.

# data[].attributes.body
There is really no reason for the death penalty, as it requires taxes and lots of time to be prepared. Also, if someone were to be wrongly convicted, or convicted off of a racial bias, there is no way to exonerate that person if they were killed through the death penalty. Many true rapists and murderers etc. would probably rather the death penalty over sitting in prison for the rest of their life, seeing it as a "easy way out".

# data[].attributes.body
I think if the person that has done a crime So bad I feel there is no coming back from it and should be punished for their crimes

# data[].attributes.body
This perspective is the one I agree with the most. Fairness is definitely a top priority for me, and I think we should take time to make sure that defendants get a fair trial, and that they truly committed the crime, without a doubt. I also think that we need to reevaluate the methods in place for executions, because some of them are inhumane. Overall, I don't agree with the death penalty but I understand that some people should deserve to die.
