it violate the bill of right
Mentally ill people will put to death

the state
It will promote violence instead of deter crime
Supporting the death penalty
Against death penalty
Disadvantage of death penalty
When innocent person put to death ,it could never be
collected
It in conflict with the bill of right that entitled every person

Capital punishment is not the way out and it will not decrease
the rate of crimes but only increase the level of psychological
violence in society. Therefore our governments must search for
alternative methods that will not put the offender to death aiming
to reduce crime, as there is no one has a right to kill.
