I personally think that it shouldn’t be allowed for this reason. I know it does make the law seem to be more severe, but put to death isn’t the answer in my opinion. I think it is an inhumane thing to do, and we should follow the commandment “thou shall not kill.” I know a lot of the people up for execution are there for that reason… but does that it make us any better?

With all due respect, Joe Hill happened a LONG time ago. Think of the advances in forensic science since then. It is very rare that someone is convicted of a murder without forensic evidence.

I know there are a lot of forensic science advantages but I still think they could make a fatal mistake (some how, I’m not an expert on forensic science).... I also think that if they did bring back the death penalty then it would cause havoc….. Riots, marches the government would be in turmoil
