‘The Worst Of The Worst’ Aren’t The Only Ones Who Get Executed, talks about how usually the worst offenders are not the ones to receive the death penalty.

Do you think the death penalty goes against the 8th amendment (cruel and unusual punishment)?

2. In a death penalty case, should it matter to a jury if the defendant had a traumatic childhood?]]> 2019-04-18 12:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/352532767 amanda_nieman https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355237743 Some questions raised about the death penalty when we read the article "The Worst Prisoners aren't the ones who Receive the Death Penalty" are, "Do you think that the death penalty goes against the 8th amendment?", and "In a death penalty case, should it matter to a jury if the defendant had a traumatic childhood?". Some might say that having a traumatic childhood should be a deciding factor if whether a defendant should receive the death penalty or not. Since some defendants brought to court have a background of sexual and or physical abuse. This is one example: "One of the people in Smith's study is Daniel Cook. Cook's mom drank and used drugs while she was pregnant with him. His mother and grandparents molested him and his dad abused him by, among other things, burning his genitals with a cigarette."]]> 2019-04-29 23:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355237743 Related Video amanda_nieman https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355240498 2019-04-29 23:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355240498 amanda_nieman https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355248064 2019-04-30 00:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355248064 amanda_nieman https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355249613 2019-04-30 00:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355249613 amanda_nieman https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355249877 2019-04-30 00:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_nieman/t2235eo3ifjq/wish/355249877
