Capital Punishment, the American Conscience, and the End of Executions > Customer Review #1: BUY THE PAPERBACK I am primarily offended that the authors and Amazon publish the almost the exact same book in both hardback and paperback with different titles in order to sucker folks into buying both. Amazon outright recommends the purchase of both books - but you should only buy the paperback. It has all the text of the more expensive hardback plus one additional chapter. The book graphically displays some of the problems with the justice system; it fails, however, to examine the proponents take on the death penalty. By failing to make such an examination, people with little or no opinion or those who are pro-death penalty will likely make changes to their political thought without the necessary logical underpinnings.

Boston Globe ^ Posted on 06/06/2002 2:30:00 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife Edited on 04/13/2004 2:07:51 AM PDT by Jim Robinson history Second of two parts DEATH PENALTY abolitionists don't usually mention it, but in promoting a moratorium on executions, they are urging us down a road we have taken before. In the mid-1960s, as a number of legal challenges to capital punishment began working their way through the courts, executions in the United States came to a halt. From 56 in 1960, the number of killers put to death dropped to seven in 1965, to one in 1966, and to zero in 1967. There it stayed for the next 10 years, until the State of Utah executed Gary Gilmore in 1977. That was the only execution in 1977, and there were only two more during the next three years.

But the tears and sighs weren't for Beazley's victim, John Luttig, or for Luttig's widow, who was nearly killed herself, or for their children and grandchildren, whose lives sustained a wound that night that will never fully heal.

Capital punishment But if either direct punishment, the fear of it, be what deters men from a vicious and criminal course of life, and not the turpitude of the thing itself, then none can be guilty of injustice, and the greatest offenders ought rather to be called imprudent than wicked. (Cicero, from The Laws Punishment, especially capital punishment, has historical antecedents that infringe the boundaries of prehistory, and the merits of that punishment have been argued since. Punishment has been generally recognized by all who have seriously considered its genesis and its merits, to have three functions: allowing the society or individuals some form of vengeance or retribution deterring the future commission of crimes and reforming individuals who have committed crimes. Retribution With respect to the first function, that of retribution or vengeance, the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association takes the position that legalized homicide as punishment is generally inconsistent with the values it is presumed to protect, and in a broader context is demeaning of the dignity of human life. Civil liberties of individuals are the collection of traditions and laws that serve to protect and enhance the inalienable rights of personal freedom and the dignity of individuals, insofar as they do not substantially infringe the rights of others. These values and rights are, or should be, embodied in the laws of a society, and in our opinion, they should not be applied in a discriminatory manner. The prohibition against homicide is intended to protect the basic values of human dignity and personal freedom and in our view, those prohibitions apply equally to individuals and to society. This is particularly true when the purpose of homicide is vengeance, for society considers this is a heinous crime when perpetrated by an individual.

Home Archive My Letter to The Nation on Capital Punishment LeftWatch.Com Guests Logon Account Signup My Letter to The Nation on Capital Punishment By Brian Carnell Friday, July 14, 2000 Capital Punishment forces are having, Death Penalty Politics . I sent the following letter to the editor in response: Editor, The Nation I must respectfully disagree with Mike Farrell when he claims in the July 24, 2000 issue of The Nation that anti-capital punishment forces are on the verge of a victory. Farrell would have us believe that, "...a public once gulled into believing that state killing, discomfiting as it may be, was the necessary tool of a properly functioning justice system intent on providing them a safe society, is now exposed to the rapidly emerging image of a chamber of horrors operating in the service of partisan advantage." Farrell is deluding himself. Rather than make the case for the immorality of capital punishment, major anti death penalty groups and individuals have instead concentrated excessively on publicizing the risk of wrongful executions. The problem with this strategy is that the major tool used to uncover such convictions, namely DNA evidence, is a double-edged sword. While there has been a temporary drop in support for the death penalty due to questions of wrongful verdicts ( only 2/3rds of Americans support it in recent surveys), the clear subtext in most of the news coverage is that widespread DNA testing can come close to guaranteeing that no innocent person is ever put to death.

Death Penalty Remarks by Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez Studies fail to stablish that the death penalty either has a unique value as a deterrent or is a more effective deterrent than life imprisonment. We assume that perpetrators will give greater consideration to the consequences of their actions if the penalty is death, but the problem is that we are not always dealing with rational actions. Those who commit violent crimes often do so in moments of passion, rage, and fear. The empty echo of the death penalty asks for simple retribution. Proponents advocate that some crimes simply deserve death. This argument is ludicrous. If a murder deserves death, I ask you why then we do not burn the arsonist or rape the rapist? Our justice system does not provide for such punishments because society comprehends that it must be founded on principles different from those that it condemns . How can we condemn killing while condoning execution? In practice, capital punishment has become a kind of grotesque lottery. It cannot be disputed that most death row inmates come from poverty and that there is a definite racial and ethnic bias to the imposition of the death penalty. Only four countries besides the United States are known to have executed juvenile offenders in the past decade: Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iraq, and Iran.

No Frames At the dawn of the 21st century, the death penalty is considered by most civilized nations as a cruel and inhuman punishment. It has been abolished de jure or de facto by 106 nations, 30 countries have abolished it since 1990. However, the death penalty continues to be commonly applied in other nations. China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States and Iran are the most prolific executioners in the world. Indeed, the US is one of six countries (including also Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen) which executes people who were under 18 years-old at the time they committed their crimes. While international documents have restricted and in some cases even banned the death penalty, its application is still not against customary international law. Much debate continues in the US as to whether it constitutes an appropriate punishment, at least to the most heinous crimes. In recent years, the debate has been further fueled by the use of new technologies which have shown that a large proportion of people sentenced to death are, indeed, innocent.
