Pro Capital Punishment

 

             Capital Punishment now there is a solution.
             punishment is the most powerful deterrent of crime ever devised by any form .
             of government. Those who are against this convention often say, "its not .
             whether or not the criminal deserves to die it is a question of if we have the .
             right to kill them." A criminal, who has been subjected to thorough .
             investigation and proven without question to be a murderer, bestowed the right .
             to kill upon his or herself. Therefore it is only fair that the justice system has .
             this power delegated to itself. For justice, the basis for all laws that preserve .

             that after you are apprehended there is no chance of being put to death. Will .
             you be more likely to commit the premeditated murder? Of course, that is why .
             capital punishment is so effective. It automatically eliminates the possibility of anyone, .
             who fears capital punishment, from committing whatever murder they are .
             meditating on. .
             Unfortunately there are 34 states with over 3,000 prisoners convicted of .
             murder on death row. According to national statistics only two percent of the .
             convicts will be executed within the next year. It costs taxpayers $60,000 per .
