Casey Anthony And The Death Penalty
Posted on June 6th, 2011 by Simon Barrett
Excerpt:
The Death Penalty has been a very hotly debated item for decades. There are various viewpoints both for and against. Some people put forward the argument that if someone is found guilty of taking another persons life they should forfeit their own life. A common rational is cost, it is cheaper to kill someone that keep them in jail for the rest of their natural life. This argument is flawed. The economics behind this argument are flawed. When you consider the costs of the appeal process, it is often more expensive to execute someone than keep them in jail.
An equally common and contentious argument concerns the morality of imposing the Death Penalty. There have been incidences where due to more modern scientific analysis, using techniques such as DNA analysis that have reversed court decisions. Of course the reversal comes too late if the person has already been executed. It looks good on paper, but does not bring the person back to this Earth.
The third argument revolves around the religious grounds of taking the quantum leap to taking another persons life. It is a complex issue, you must balance the legal options against personal beliefs.
