Death Penalty - Paper

Death Penalty
  Death penalty or capital punishment, is it effective? Is it the right method of punishment? Do people have the right to sentence others to death? And what are the crimes, for which criminals must be executed? So that is what I want to talk about.

That situation is the result of thorough investigation, which is held to prevent executions of innocent. It takes on average 12 years to carry out death sentence. And even criminals that were released from imprisonment and committed a serious crime again, spend several years in prison before their death sentence is carried out. Considering all that.

And there are a lot of examples when wrongly sentenced to death people were released during the investigations that were held.   Ray Krone, for instance, was released in 2002...
