Answer: I wrote this just now. Hope it helps!
I don't agree with the death penalty for most cases. I only agree with the death penalty for cases in which there are multiple convictions, such as someone who murdered 20 people, or someone who caused a terrorist attack that killed 10 people. However, for cases such as someone who murdered one person, I do not agree with the death penalty, because there are cases where people are wrongfully convicted, but those are much rarer in instances of multiple convictions.
I think the threat of death penalty is not successful in discouraging people from committing murder, because we have the death penalty now and people commit murder at a very high rate. What we need is more mental health resources so people with disorders and mental health issues can get proper help BEFORE committing a horrible crime. I think the death penalty is only constitutional if the criminal is convicted with killing multiple people on purpose, such as a mass shooting, terrorist attack, bombing, or something of that measure.
I hope this helps! :) Have a good day, I have to go so this is all I can answer for now, but good luck on your assignment.
