Pros: 
  • Retribution: ppl get what they deserve. (eye for an eye)
  • Provide families of victims affected with more closure

Cons:
  • Unfortunately, the death penalty affects the poorer segments and racial minorities
  • Big possibility that a person could be wrongly convicted and they kill innocent people by accident.
  • Rates of murder go higher in states with an active death penalty system. In 1990, the death penalty percentage rate was 9.5%. In one year (1995) that went up by 9.94%

This article talks about how the death penalty is a bad thing to have. It explains three different ways on how it doesn’t defend the public or anyone in any matter. The death penalty wastes tons of money, way above the amount wasted for life imprisonment without parole opportunities. Another is that many of the times, capital punishment is irresponsibly thrown at people.The third reason this article talks about is that it doesn’t deter crime whatsoever.]]> 2016-11-21 13:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/139075353 John Thompson monialv https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/139076153 This is John Thompson. He was accused of two crimes: murder and robbery. In 1985, Raymond Luzza was shot in an attempt for robbery supposedly done by John Thompson. Thompson was founded guilty because he was found with Luzzas ring and the weapon used. In reality another man sold these items to Thompson, not telling him that these items had to do with a huge crime. Thompson served 14 years on the death row. In 1999, set to die, Thompson was on his way to pay of "what he did" when they found more evidence clearly stating that Thompson was innocent and what truly went on. Thompson later was granted compensation due to his time spent on the death row and now lives as a free man.]]> 2016-11-21 13:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/139076153 How is it Carried Out? https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/139098853 There are currently 5 different methods of carrying out the death penalty. Lethal Injection, Electrocution,  Lethal Gas, Firing Squad or Hanging. Most states have Lethal Injection as their main method of carrying out the death penalty. North Carolina uses Lethal injection along with 32 other states.

Cases not involving the death penalty cost around $740,000 while cases including the death penalty can cost around $1,260,000. Those who cannot afford a lawyer are given a public defender who is not paid much and therefore, does not give the accused the justice required. Since 1973, 156 inmates have been exonerated (released after proven innocent). These reasons prove that the death penalty is not always a fair and convenient ruling on a convict. ]]> 2016-11-21 15:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/139116191 Wouldn't it be Cheaper to Give Someone the Death Penalty Rather Than Put Them in Prison or Jail? cera_powell https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140200865 http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/costs-death-penalty
This article gives evidence, facts and research the death penalty is far more expensive than putting the citizens who commit capital offenses in prison. For example, in North Carolina alone, the death penalty costs about 11 million dollars per year. ]]> 2016-11-28 15:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140200865 monialv https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140206773 2016-11-28 15:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140206773 cera_powell https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140213488 2016-11-28 15:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140213488 Isn't giving someone the death penalty cheaper than keeping them in jail or prison? cera_powell https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140214222 2016-11-28 15:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/monialv/7i0dsjdxs4fw/wish/140214222
