The First Establishment of the Death Penalty
The death penalty is not applied fairly and should not be used. In many cases ther are different factors that qualify on to death. For example, one it can depend on the county in which one commited the crime and can also depend on the race or the race of the victim. Unless the jury is trustworthy one does not know wether they are racist or may not be a fair person. A defendants life can depent on the lawyer which they can not afford, and therfore are assingned one. Many lack experience in capital cases that they fail to investigate the case throughly. A defendant who is not represented properly is more likely to be given a death sentence. Different counties handle cases differently and what one believes is fair the other may not. In many cases race plays a major factor on the decision made. There are people who seek the death penalty to get rid of convicts because of overcrowded jails.
