Arguments for and against the death penalty

[Vice President Christian Man]

I believe the death penalty should be abolished because of its racial statistics, people killed who are later presumed to be innocent, and that the death penalty is a form of involuntary death in which does not produce the greater good in a situation. It denies justice to those who have repented, many of whom have turned their lives around in prison and mentored others. Denying their chance to teach those who are at risk of going down their own road, isn't going to help to deter crime.
