Capital_Punishment

Capital Punishment CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Capital Punishment is the ruling by a court, sentencing an individual who has been convicted of a serious crime to death. How serious is the death penalty' Well, thirty-eight of the fifty States in the Union have the death penalty enacted in their state (Bright 13). The death penalty is very controversial issues because it is so serious, people ponder the thought of, is it moral or even humane' Some people feel that it let’s the criminal off easy because it doesn’t allow him to live with the guilt of something like murder. Other people like Raymond Forni who is the chairman of the French National Assembly feel that the death penalty is pure “savagery” (Lacorne 51). Apparently Connecticut agrees with Raymond Forni because they have not executed anyone in 41 years (Margolis 216). As you can see, everyone has his or her own, personal opinion on the ultimate punishment. In 1972 the United States Supreme Court ruled in the case of Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty was to be suspended. However, it did not last long, the death penalty was reinstated in 1976 (Federici 109). death, people, penalty, capital, because, court, executed, percent, one, just, been, years, should, row, hundred, case, time, states, punishment, even, age, much, lethal, crime, cases, attorney, kilmer, under, serious, sentenced, sentence, oklahoma, likely, judges, injection, hanging, executions, black, bill, after, adults, about, woman, white, until, united, two, system, state
