Should a person have the right to end the life of another human? This is a question most people have the answer to when it comes to capital punishment. Capital punishment is considered by some to be one of the cruelest punishments inflicted on humanity. Some people think that the death penalty will not solve anything. While others believe that it is a reward for the criminal for the crime he committed. Since colonial times, 13,000 people have been executed; between 1900 and 1985, 139 innocent people were sentenced to death, of whom only 23 were executed. In 1967, lack of support and legal challenges reduced the execution rate to zero, ending the practice in 1972. Although the Supreme Court allowed its resumption in 1976, the death penalty was still not carried out. in all countries.

In my eyes, these people are considered pure evil people and. They don't deserve a second chance. In my brother's case, I know he didn't mean to hurt the child and he felt really bad because he surrendered. Finally, I must say that the death penalty should not be legal anywhere. for the simple fact that many innocent people can be killed. We need to understand that when a family loses a loved one, they want revenge and the only revenge they often see is for the suspect to die. If we want to legalize the death penalty, it is not necessary to say that we want to live in a world without violence.
