Our death penalty system is designed to execute criminals who have murdered a person or maybe even more. Their crime is the act of killing people. So we...

Abolish the Death Penalty

In my opinion the death penalty in the United States should be abolished because of its current extreme financial costs and the possibility of accidently executing innocents.

DNA evidence has already proven some thought to be criminals as innocent. New inventions in technology may also free innocents as DNA technology has, but If th...

I'd like to provide a reason: The taxpayers of the country that the criminal broke the laws of have to suffer from paying for food, medicine, and security for said criminal. I'd like for whoever accepts this debate to give their reasoning for why they believe that the latter is a better solution than the former. Also, I'd like this debate to be ideological, without outside sources. Tha...
