Capital Punishment

Capital Punishment When the discussion on capital punishment arises I am completely for it. I honestly believe that if you take someone else’s life then that person who committed the crime should suffer the same fate. I know it seems harsh when you make a statement as such, but when you consider the facts that one human being took the life of another as if it had no meaning, then that person should be put to death. A firm believer of the death penalty is Ronnie Earle, a veteran Texas prosecutor. In the late 80’s Earle started telling people that he was worried that capital punishment had become “a coarsening factor in the culture” (Cloud, 2003). I think what the prosecutor was trying to say is that during that time of his life he was almost to the point where he could change his way of thinking on the death penalty. Maybe as to saying that the death penalty was unethical and cruel punishment, but then came Kenneth McDuff. Kenneth McDuff had been convicted of murder decades earlier before Ronnie Earle came in association with McDuff. McDuff and a friend had been convicted in the summer of 1966 for the abduction and murder of three teenagers--two boys and a girl. McDuff and his friend robbed the teenagers and then shot the two boys several times in the head and then raped the girl repeatedly before killing her.
