The death penalty has been a hot topic all the way back to the times of Socrates. Does it work? Can a punishment of death be a deterrence for criminals? Some people believe that the allowing the death penalty shows that we don't care for innocent lives. Others believe that the only way to show proper respect for the life of one who has been murdered is to kill the murderer.

I believe that as long as there is racial and economic bias in the verdicts that are made in the courtrooms, there shouldn't be a dealth penalty.

Where do you stand on this?
