September 19, 2005 Newsletter: Search: GodSpy Web RELATED LINKS Augustine: Now and Forever, by William Bole Our Sunday Visitor Weekly national Catholic newspaper The Bible and the Death Penalty: An Interview with Dale S. Recinella, by William Bole Dale S. Recinella left his law firm to become a lay Catholic chaplain to condemned prisoners in the Bible Belt. When he realized good Christians were supporting the death penalty because they thought it was in the Bible, he began to research the issue. The results were surprising. COMMENTS Sunstar22 says: There are people who are innocent in prison. Unfortunately, there are many people who are in prison with no DNA evidence and put there by an eyewitness. My husband got a 21 to life sentence with NO evidence and one eyewitness who said it was him, and two eyewitnesses who said it was not him. The eyewitnesses were standing on a dark street corner on a Nov evening in 1984. Bloodsworth is lucky that there was DNA, and that the DNA was actually found especially after the prosecuter said there was No DNA. Pray for those who are in prison and who are innocent. Thank you for listening. post comment bigotboy says: Actually, God favors the death penalty, if it is properly applied. As in the case of Kirk Bloodsworth, justice was perverted and so he was unjustly convicted. As in the case of Jesus, Pilate found him innocent, but the JURY found him guilty. God gave us capital punishment because He knew that some crimes create a blood lust and the perpetrators will continue to commit the crime if they can. Such is the case of John Couey who killed Jessica Lunsford. For those of you who support life in prison, what is fair about Jessica's family having to pay for John Couey to live in comfort ? Jessica's family must work extra to pay for the upkeep of John Couey, since John can't get a job to support his own upkeep. We also see the wisdom of God in Ecclesiastes 8:11 where He warns that if punishment is not swift and certain that people will tend to do more evil.

Free Essays brought to you by 123HelpMe.com America Needs a Tougher Death Penalty "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" is one of the oldest and most famous sayings in the world. It comes from the Mosaic Law in the Bible and it is an edict that has ruled millions for thousands of years. Today the issue of capital punishment has our nation split down the middle. The two sides have drawn lines in the sand and are emphatically holding their ground. The need for capital punishment is greater today then it has been at anytime in the past for several reasons. The crime rate is soaring out of control. Murders are tearing our people, our cities, and country apart. Many people have the same belief as Thomas Draper, an author on the book called Capital Punishment, that no society can abolish crime, so their only hope is to do everything they can to control it. It is time for the United States to mandate the death penalty for the crime of murder in all 50 states and to carry out the executions of those sentenced to death. Capital Punishment is the lawful infliction of the death penalty. In

Pershing Avenue Stockton, CA 95207 Email: Email this page Print this page Comment on this page Timothy McVeigh and Capital Punishment by Jason Jackson Christian Courier: Penpoints Monday, May 28, 2001 after What does this question imply? It implies the possibility that an innocent person might be put to death. Supposedly, this should convince us that capital punishment is wrong. The morality of the death penalty is examined every time an execution has media attention. Here are some common objections to the death penalty: Capital punishment may take innocent lives. Capital punishment is implemented with racial prejudice. Capital punishment is not a deterrent to crime. Capital punishment focuses on punishment and not rehabilitation. Are these objections valid? Should murderers live or die? Should the possibility of executing an innocent person abolish the death penalty altogether? Advocates of this objection are inconsistent. Such reasoning would demand that criminals should not be imprisoned, for an innocent person might be unjustly incarcerated.

home archive mickey's assignment ... of Equality" Boomers Against Death Why the shift against the death penalty isn't necessarily a shift to the left. Posted Monday, March 27, 2000 In a recent New York Times Magazine , Bruce Shapiro argues that the American public's attitude toward capital punishment "seems to be approaching a political tipping point." He notes that a recent Gallup poll had 66 percent supporting the death penalty, down from 80 percent a few years ago. Shapiro (citing criminologist Robert Bohm) attributes the drop to "doubts about the death penalty's quotidian administration: about false conviction, racial discrimination, and other questions of fairness" rather than any rejection of the "fundamental premise" of capital punishment. Americans, he argues, increasingly object to "the unequal, corrupt, and racist reality of the capital trial apparatus." Shapiro seems to be on to something; the recent discovery of falsely convicted people on death row has clearly had a large impact, not the least on Illinois Gov. George Ryan, who earlier this year imposed a moratorium on executions. But this very impact casts doubt on Shapiro's argument that Americans are also disgusted by the "unequal ... racist" application of capital punishment. After all, death-penalty foes had been protesting for decades that the application of capital punishment was unequal, arbitrary, and racially biased. They got nowhere (even though, I assume, many of their complaints were accurate). The public didn't seem terribly worried about the refined issue of insuring perfect fairness in deciding who gets executed from among a group of first-degree killers. (The legal briefs in these cases could often fairly be summarized as "But my murder wasn't as bad as that other guy's murder!") You say murderers have bought a ticket to a rigged game of Russian roulette? And your problem with that is ... ? The elaborate procedures lawyers have designed in the name of removing any scintilla of racism or arbitrariness in sentencing are, not without reason, perceived by many voters as merely tactics to delay executions. But show the voters some

Life or Death: Capital Punishment in the Spotlight As with all controversial issues, capital punishment is no stranger to opposition. Activist groups have gathered and published information pertaining to the inability of capital punishment to deter crime and of the United States justice system’s tendency to be prejudice in executions. The Moratorium Campaign, an anti-capital punishment group, posts information on their website regarding the flaws of capital punishment. Anti-capital punishment topics such as “Innocent people are sentenced to die” and “The death penalty is racially inequitable” are posted freely for anyone interested in such information to read (General Statistics 1). Perhaps the most common argument against capital punishment is its effectiveness. The Moratorium Campaign states: States that do not have the death penalty have an average murder rate that is actually lower than states that do have the death penalty. In 1995 the police chiefs across the United States were polled by a bi-partisan polling firm and ask to rank the ten things that reduce crime – the death penalty was almost unanimously ranked last.

Advertising UA students form anti-death penalty club By Eric Swedlund Arizona Daily Wildcat Group seeks to join late October march in Texas to protest capital punishment Calling the death penalty cruel and inhumane, a group of University of Arizona students have banded together in hopes of forming a new campus club, Students Against the Death Penalty. Made up of about 15 students, many of them international students, the group is serious in its opinion that capital punishment should be illegal in the United States, said Ahmad Saad Nasim, one of the group's members. Nasim, a general business senior, said that from the club's perspective, the logic behind the death penalty is flawed. "Do two negatives make a positive?" he asked. Thomas Tscha, a business management sophomore and member of the club, said he is joining with other students to oppose the death penalty out of a need to voice his opinion. "People being electrocuted in chairs is wrong," he said. Tscha added that he believes that if people don't speak up against the death penalty, more people will be sentenced to death.

September 11 and Beyond Sign up for weekly Pew Forum Updates Enter email address: Site Search Enter search terms: Few public policy issues have inflamed passions as consistently and as strongly as the debate over the validity of capital punishment. Religious communities have been deeply involved on both sides of the issue, drawing both on teachings and traditions of justice and on those that emphasize the dignity of human life. The debate over the death penalty has been complicated in recent years by questions regarding the fairness of the criminal justice system and questions regarding the possibility of reform and rehabilitation among death row inmates. Background In 1972, the Supreme Court ruled in Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty as applied was "cruel and unusual punishment," thereby violating the Eighth Amendment. The Court's ruling effectively voided 40 state death penalty statutes, commuting the sentences of death row inmates and suspending the use of the death penalty. Because the overall holding in Furman was that specific death penalty statutes, and not the punishment itself, were unconstitutional, states were free to revise their laws in order to eliminate constitutional problems. Many rewrote their statutes to provide sentencing guidelines for judges and juries, and the Supreme Court approved such guided discretion statutes in 1976 in the landmark case
