Post 5: Worth Death Row?

         It is a growing debate and controversial topic about whether certain cases are worth giving the criminal the death sentence. It differs from state to state. But in California, Proposition 34 is underway. This proposition is going to create a $100 million dollar fund to help agencies solve more rape and homicide cases. Although this proposition will repeal the death penalty as maximum punishment for a person found guilty of murder, it will support agencies which is what we need. We need this proposition to help decipher people worth the death penalty.

         Like I said earlier, there will be human error in almost anything we do. But we can do as much as we can to at least turn it down. Proposition 34 will help us do this. Way too many cases happen where the person was actually guilty of the crime or where the person didn’t really deserve to be executed. Tomorrow, November 4^th, is election day and if this passes, California could be giving our country a great start on really serving justice when it comes to the death penalty. The death penalty should definitely remain a valid sentence but it needs to be sentenced more wisely.

         As my final statement about the death penalty, I am in full support of it. I just think that it needs to be handled more wisely. People are being charged with crimes they never did and some of them are being executed. But, hopefully proposition 34 will help that issue. At the end of the day, there is not a moral issue with this sentence; it is fair. There are just some bolts that need to be tightened.
