For or against the death penalty in the USA

The death sentence is an actual question for a longer period, causing separation in the USA, for whose justification nowadays a debate is still going on.

When Robert Blecker, a professor in the New York’s school law, first time participated in an execution, began remembering on the scene of how his wife’s husband died in hospital. While human rights defenders spread fear about the deadly combination of drugs used in Arkansas, could destroy executions. Blacker also said that he is against lethal injection. Instead of such measure, he prefers a method of death sentence with firearms in which has no unsuccessful executions.

He states that the penalty should be construed as a penalty, and performed as such.

Anyways the death sentence is the most prevalent method of execution in the United States. From 1973 until now 88 percent of 1,449 executions were executed by lethal injection, and in almost all situations was used a cocktail of three drugs: the sedative midazolam to relieve pain, pancuronium – paralyze breathing, and potassium chloride to stop the heart.

But the use of midazolam proved as an unsuccessful execution in several recent years, as in the case of December, the convict from Alabama Ronald Smith, who died 13 minutes after the execution.

The death penalty has been a divisive issue for a longer time now in the United States. A poll by the Pew Research Center in 2016 showed that 49 percent of Americans support such a penalty, while 42 percent oppose such penalty.

Attorney general of Arkansas – Leslie Routledge defends executions, saying they brought peace and justice to the families of the victims.

Robert Danube, executive director of the Information Center of the death penalty in Washington, says that revenge is a valid argument of the supporters of this measure.

It’s left on you to decide upon this question. What do you think whether the death penalty should be brought back in the United States or you are against it?
