You definitely picked the more difficult side to argue. If you want a good grade, you'll have to address all of the "against" arguments, including:
- Mistakes happen. In the last 35 years in the U.S., 130 people have been released from death row because they were exonerated by DNA evidence (DNA is not available in most homicide cases).
- It costs taxpayers MUCH more to execute someone than to imprison them for life.
- It is not a deterrent - violent crime rates are HIGHER in death penalty jurisdictions.
- It is inconsistently and arbitrarily applied.
- Jesus was against it (see Matthew 5:7 & 5:38-39, James 4:12, Romans 12:17-21, and John 8:7).
- Life without parole (LWOP) is on the books in most states now, and it means what it says. People who get this sentence are taken off the streets. For good.
The website below is a great resource. Good luck on your paper! |

You might want to add in some of the major Supreme Court cases that deal with the death penality, such as McClesky v Kemp, Gregg v Georgia, and Furman v Georgia. |

if your writing a pro paper then u need to explain why u picked it we didn't
Here are somethings i wrote in my paper but it was not one sidedd
Pros
if they deserve it then they are dead
less people to fill up our jail cells
cons
itdoesn'tt make us any better to take a life its not our choice who lives and who dies. the person who gets the deathpenaltyy has a life just like anybody else. Though they take a life who are we to take theirs we would be just using the death penalty as a form of revenge
pros
it the death penalty is giving to a murder or child killer and they are killed off then that would be one less person to worry abouthurtingg my children or family.
cons
religion - if you have one - does it violate your beliefs and make you ahypocritet |
