Life or Death
In light of the crazy criminal practice I have somehow got myself into, I have been spending a lot of time pondering the death penalty. I see what you are thinking: very happy topic, Miss M. But really, I have been up to my ears in death penalty cases. Here is what I have concluded: the death penalty should be abolished. Why you ask? The silly reasons are as follows:
- It creates more work for me.
- It costs more for the court appointed attorneys to represent them.
- It kills trees. Lots of them. (And what did the trees do to deserve that?)
- No person should decide to take another's life (I know if you are already found guilty of murder this is slightly compromised but signing a death verdict is not much better.)
- Finding a way to constitutionally kill people is a problem.
- Most civilized societies recognize that capital punishment is no longer acceptable.
- The legislature has no right to put its citizens in a position where they are forced to decide if someone will live or die.
