Death Penalty (Sofia)

I don’t think that the death penalty helps prevent crimes in this country because when you are doing something wrong, you don’t really think about the consequences. Especially is you are angry. Usually when a person is angry, they don’t think straight. We only think about getting back at the person or situation that is causing ones anger. I think a person reflects on ones actions after they made a wrong decision and are facing the consequences. Most of the time people regret the decisions they make when they are mad.

            I don’t think that the family members of the victim should not interfere with the convicts at all. I think the family members should be at, be a part of the trial, and hear the sentence but I don’t think they should have a say in anything that happens to the prisoner. I don’t think so because then they’d be doing the same thing to prisoner did to them. Like the prisoner also has a family. The victim’s family knows what it feels like to have a loved one hurt or killed so they shouldn’t do that. And also because that only opens the door to hate and negative feelings towards people, and that only makes a person bitter. And what if the prisoner’s family wants to do something against the other family. And it’s a war that’s never going to end. I think they should just let the police take care of everything. That’s why they are here for right?
