CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens steered the debate over President Bush's nominee to a new subject capital punishment sharply condemning the country's death penalty system. The court has been closely divided in death row cases, with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor often in the middle. President Bush's choice to replace her, John Roberts, has a limited track record. Roberts, 50, showed little sympathy for prisoner appeals as a government lawyer in the Reagan administration, but later did free legal work for a death row inmate. In a February 1983 memo while serving in the Reagan White House, Roberts suggested that the high court could cut its caseload by "abdicating the role of fourth or fifth guesser in death penalty cases."

The report, released Monday by a group of Columbia University law professors, updates a 2000 study that warned more than seven of every 10 death penalty cases between 1973 and 1995 were reversed because of errors made by judges, juries and prosecutors. The professors said their study is not designed to present a moral argument for or against capital punishment. They said they're concerned about the failure of the current system to perform the way it should. The latest study found a correlation between the number of cases eligible for the death penalty and the risk of legal mistakes. "It puts you at very high risk of having high error rates," said study author and Columbia law professor James Liebman. "It also puts you at high risk of sentencing people to death who will later turn out to be innocent."

I have often been asked this question by supporters of the death penalty, and my answer is: My first reaction would probably be a strong wish to cut the balls off the bastard, to tear him apart and kill him. But my next reaction would hopefully be gratitude for living in a constitutional state where the principle of personal revenge has been replaced by societies obligation to administer an appropriate punishment and give me the necessary support to get a decent life in spite of my loss.

Learn about Jesus About Christianity.com Join Email List The Death Penalty (A Christian Defense) By Tom Flannery As Paul wrote, governments have the moral authority and obligation to execute capital criminals. Protestant Channel-SilasPartners.com - The death penalty has fallen on hard times recently thanks to a Columbia University study purporting a 68% error rate in capital cases and to the intense media scrutiny revolving around the presidential campaign of Texas Governor George W. Bush, whose state leads the nations in executions. Still, error rates are only one argument used by opponents of capital punishment. They also claim that the death penalty is not a deterrent to murder, and they reject the notion that swiftly executing convicted murderers would reduce the nation's homicide rates. But this argument ignores an abundance of clear and compelling evidence to the contrary. A recent piece by William Tucker in The New York Post traced the direct relationship between the use of capital punishment and low national homicide rates from the 1930s until the Supreme Court effectively abolished the death penalty in 1963, when murder rates almost immediately began to soar. The rates of executions and homicides have moved in tandem from 1963 to today. He concluded: "If murders and executions had followed the same pattern established before the effective abolition of the death penalty, more than half a million American lives could have been saved." No wonder Solomon wrote thousands of years ago under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit: "Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil" (Eccles. 8:11).

117. Capital Punishment In Canada Essay advocating a referendum on the death penalty. http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/guadelupe/435/essay2.html

web hosting domain names photo sharing Capital Punishment in Canada Capital punishment is the execution of criminals by the state for committing crimes that are regarded so heinous that this is the only acceptable punishment. Capital Punishment deters murder, and is just retribution. Capital punishment not only lowers the homicide rate, but its value as retribution alone is a good reason for handing out death sentences. Support for the death penalty in the U.S. has risen to an average of 80% according to an article written by Richard Worsnop, entitled "Death penalty debate centres on Retribution." This figure is slightly lower in Canada where support for the death penalty is at 72% of the population over 18 years of age, as stated in an article by Kirk Makir, in the March 26, 1987 edition of the Globe and Mail, entitled "B.C. MPs split on Death Penalty." The death penalty deters murder by injecting the fear of execution into potential killers. People are less likely to do something illegal if they think that harm will come to themselves. Let us now focus on Canada. The last two people to be executed in Canada were Arthur Lucas and Ron Turpin. They were executed on December 11, 1962. These executions in Canada were carried out by hanging.

Like abortion, it is a hotly debated issue. The primary problem with the Death Penalty as it stands today is that it results in executing many innocents. In 1915, Joe Hill was executed and was later proven innocent. There are obviously major flaws with the system as it stands. To quote a qualified source in regards to Capital Punishment... Whether you support or oppose capital punishment, there is mounting evidence that the system is broken. A review of death penalty judgments over a 23-year period found a national error rate of 68 %. In a matter of life and death, we are getting it wrong more than 2 out of every 3 times. We need a moratorium on executions to give us time to figure out why the system is not working. [*1] *1.

Department of Justice MINISTER'S STATEMENT ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Ottawa, August 29, 1997 In response to the resolution passed by the Canadian Police Association today calling for the return of the death penalty in certain cases, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, Anne McLellan, issued the following statement: "Capital punishment has been debated and voted on in free votes in the House of Commons twice in the past two decades. In 1976, Parliament voted to abolish capital punishment and in 1987 Parliament voted against reinstating it. It is not the intention of the Government of Canada to reinstate the death penalty," said Minister McLellan.
