Death Penalty

I am against death penalty which is a form of punishment.  This is because many people arte tortured to confess to a crime that they never committed.  Death penalty is found to be inhuman, a degrading thus it must be opposed be it on who accused, the crime or the method of execution.  There are many reasons as to why am against the death penalty. The death penalty is permanent.  Some judgments cause people to approve to some crimes they did not do.  Some people are killed and later after the investigations they are found not guilty. There are much racial and economic discrimination in the appliance of death penalty. Discrimination on the death penalty is a way of being unjust to other people’s lives thinking that some lives are better than others (New York Times, 2007). 

Thus death penalty should be done on a theory basis rather than practically.  Death penalty is also seen to provide some of the main criminals their publicity that that they should not have.  It put off that some of the criminals are murderers; there is a proof in that it encourages others especially those from a poor background and who attracts the media. Instead of these criminals spending time in the media, they spend their life time in prison that is a way that violence seems much fashionable to them. Death penalty is not partial to the worst cases.  This means that the death penalty like any other form of violence is hard to put bounds once the worst cases get into the community (New York Times, 2007).     

Federal courts have the power to hear cases based on the section 1983.  This allows the federal courts to hear cases such as the deficiency of the civil rights and the final statute allows the court to hear all the questions based on the national judgment. Thus all the cases under this section may be heard in the federal courts by putting in the jurisdictional acts. State torts cases are heard under the section 1983. The difference between the two is that the supremacy section under the state torts cases states that the courts must give friendly mediums to the national claims and the vindication of the national rights. Thus in order for someone to act on the 1983 section, they must first start in the state court but if the accuser takes the case to court, the protector has the right to move the case to the national court (New York Times, 2007).
