Justice or Just a Waste?
Kara Sobolewski
Capital Punishment
IS NO LONGER
NEEDED IN OUR SOCIETY
TODAY
“When you use murder to end murder you guarantee murder
will NEVER END.”
THE DEATH PENALTY IS BEING ABOLISHED ALL OVER
17 STATES IN THE U.S. HAVE ABOLISHED THE DEATH PENALTY
COUNTRIES ACROSS THE
WORLD ARE ENDING
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT!
CAPITAL PUNISHMEN
T GOES AGAINST
THE EIGHTH AMENDMEN
T
EIGHTH AMENDMENT SAYS NO CRUEL AND UNUSUAL
PUNISHMENT
DEATH PENALTY
DOES NOT DETER CRIME
CRIMINALS ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT THE PUNISHMENT THEY
COULD RECEIVE WHEN THEY ARE COMMITTING THE CRIME
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS UNRELIABLE
MANY OF THE PEOPLE PUT TO DEATH OR ON
DEATH ROW ARE
INNOCENT
FRANK LEE SMITH
DIED AFTER BEING ON
DEATH ROW FOR
14 YEARS!
AFTER HIS DEATH, HE WAS
PROVEN INNOCENT WITH A
DNA TEST!
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS
MORE EXPENSIVE THAN LIFE IN
PRISON
THAT MONEY COULD BE USED TO HELP OUR SOCIETY
OUR SOCIETY WOULD BENEFIT
TREMENDOUSLY WITHOUT
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT!
