I think that the death penalty should be in every state because maybe it would make people think twice about what they want or are going to do. Because maybe if people knew that there was a death penalty they wouldn't kill people.
In one case there is this woman named Suzanne Margaret Basso. And what she did was kidnapped a 59 year old man retarded white male who purposely killed him by beating him with belts, baseball bats, steel-toed boots, hands, and feet. They later found the man in a ditch with such bad injures that the body was unrecognizable.
I think that this poor lady should get the death penalty because 1, the man was retarded and didn't know what was going on. 2, You just dont go around killing random people.
In another case there was this male named Robert Gene Will, II, made an attempt to burglarize a car and was being chased by a White male officer Once the officer reached Will and attempted to put hand cuffs on him. Will then shot the officer seven times in the head, resulting in the officer's death.
I think that this is a good reason to have a death penalty because he should have surrendered instead of shooting a cop seven times in the head. I mean wouldn't you rather go to jail for a few years for pursuit or sentenced to jail for the death penalty.
In one other case this black male named Jamaal Howard 05/12/2000 did something that is very similar to a book that we are reading called Monster. Jamaal Howard robbed a convenience store in Silsbee. During the robbery, Howard shot a 42 year old white female clerk once or twice in the chest causing her death Howard also took 114$ from the cash register durring the robbery.
I think that this is also a good reason for the death penalty because the man was going to jail anyways for robbing and store but now he is probably going to die because he killed a man.
