Death penalty is it right?
Cons: If the victim is not guilty then the punishment cannot be taken back, and an innocent death has been caused. Also, the person that committed murder may have a serious mental illness and need care rather than to be killed just as a form of justice. Also, killing someone for murder is just as bad as the crime they commit not resolving the issue and going against the right to live. The death penalty is more expensive to resolve than keeping someone in prison and this money should not be wasted on unworthy people especially when the outcome is death.
Pros: The system can be failing, as many of the convicts have a better and safer life in prison and this isn't really a high enough level of punishment. Also the death penalty would act as a deterrent and make crime figures decrease. Overall I am strongly against the death penalty and feel that it should not be legalised as the cons outweigh the pros by a mile.
