I am against capital punishment because once you do something wrong it may not always be on purpose and they may still get killed for what they have done for example, if someone was driving a car and there head lights at the front of the car was broken and someone walked in front of the car on a dark road and the driver of the car could not see them, hit and killed them and called the police of some type of emergency service then the person shouldn’t really get arrested and face a death penalty because it was really not their fault in a way, but if they done a hit and run and the police found out then they should face a death penalty because they did not have the decency to own up and say they did it but not on purpose.

Other people may disagree with being against capital punishment but may be for it and may be for it because they are religious and they may think that if you take someone’s life your life should be taken too. Capital punishment is not inflicted in all countries because some countries do not agree with it like the UK in the 21st century but before when the UK agreed with capital punishment there used to be little crime but now that law is not about no more, more crime has been committed in the UK.

Some countries even execute people who are under 18 years old when the crime was committed, others use the death penalty against people with mental issues too. The death penalty is cruel, inhuman and degrading some countries sentence people to life in a prison where they spend the rest of their life in prison because of the crime they have committed, the most common and most known argument is that sooner or later, innocent people will get killed, because or mistakes or flaws in the justice system.

My conclusion to being against the death penalty is that no life should be taken because if you are supposed to die after life then we should just wait until we die of old age or sickness. But if you have committed a crime you should just be put in prison for life not executed or sentenced the death penalty because also some people may be against it because of their religion, but some people my be for it because they may think that if you take someones life from them then your life should be taken from you.
