Conclusion

After weeks of research my opinion of capital punishment is stronger than they have ever been as I now have the knowledge to support my stance. Although many articles that I have read were disturbing, I believe it has made me more of an activist. Capital punishment has proven to have too many cons to still be a legal action. Through my research I have found who is effected by executions, statistics of innocent men and woman that have been executed and reasons to why capital punishment should be abolished from the judicial system. 


A question of mine still remains, 'How can you teach people killing is wrong by killing people?' Capital punishment is a very contradicting process of inflicting fear into other citizens, but it has proven to be  ineffective. Some may raise the question of 'what if it was a loved one of yours?' Although when the shoe is on the other foot, it is expected that people would change their answer. After reading and understanding the issues with capital punishment; my position stays the same. A life should not be taken in retribution of another because as history shows 82% of inmates are innocent. Executions do not only effect the families of both parties but also the executioners who ultimately have to live the fact that they have taken an innocent life. 

All in all, capital punishment should to abrogated from judicial systems world wide because it has a raised chance of taking an innocent life. Capital punishment carries one to many loop holes to allow juries and courts to vote on such an act. It has been shown that there are many cases that have been re-evaluated by college students who then uncovered evidence that has proven the innocence of death row inmates. There is no logical reason why the death penalty should still be used, and reasons, in abundance, about why it should never be used again.
