Death_Penalty

Death Penalty Dying a tragic death being chained behind a pickup truck and being dragged until your body separates into many pieces, is a death that James Byrd Jr. nor anyone else should have to go through. Cynthia Tucker says that America should not have the, “thirst for vengeance.” She seems to believe that those who are dumb and lack education are the one’s who cannot escape capital punishment, and the inmates who are educated and have connections find a way to avoid it. Tucker is against the death penalty because she believes that if one innocent life has been wrongly accused and has died for a crime that wasn’t committed by him or her, then that is one too many. I agree with Tucker because if there has been one wrongly accused “victim” that has died, then I believe our system has failed to protect the rights of the innocent. Tucker is right in asking, “Does America deserve the death penalty'” Who are we to judge if someone should die or not' What divine right do we have to choose the fate of a person' Why not let the rightly accused criminal live in a dark cell with no privileges until death, penalty, because, punishment, innocent, people, die, accused, tucker, one, died, being, been, wrongly, until, two, should, right, life, lawyers, lawyer, jail, innocence, expensive, believe, am, against, way, times, strongly, someone, sentence, says, row, resources, reason
