The Death Penalty By Zack Ridall

Questions Does it work? Is it legally accounted for? Should we be doing it?

Common Arguments Against “Capital punishment does not deter crime” “Capital punishment violates the bill or rights”

Does Capital Punsihment Deter Crime?

Number of Executions 1960 – 56 executions 1965 – 15 executions 1969 – varies on source (0-10) executions 1972-1976- temporary ban is placed 0 executions source-Beyond Repair? America's Death Penalty Source- The Death Penalty is a Deterrant

Murder Rates 1960 – 9,110 murders 1965 – 9,960 murders

Does capital punishment violate the constitution?

5th Amendment No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. Copy of constitution--www.usconstitution.net

8th Amendment Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Is it cruel or unusual? Current method – lethal injection Condemned is injected with two drugs one to put him to sleep, the next shut down the heart

14th Amendment Rights of the citizens (defines a citizen)... No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

What Was Discussed Arguments addressed Does it work? Is it legal Crime Deterrence Constitutionality Does it work? Is it legal

Concluding thought Is this a question of morals or of reason? It is unethical to sway someones morals yet only logical to sway ones reason. Is it capital punishment logical? Is it moral?
