∙ 13y agoThe death penalty should be allowed because it stops crime going on. Also it is cheaper for someone to face the death penalty, instead of going to jail.
If someone is sent to jail and they are released they can still commit crimes where as if they face the death sentence you are sure they can never commit crime again as they will be DEAD!

∙ 14y agoThe biggest problem with the death penalty is that it is irreversible. If you later discover that you killed an innocent person, there is no way to bring that person back to life, which is different from putting an innocent person in prison, since those prisoners can be released (although you can argue that you can never give them back the years that they may have lost - but even so, they can be released and even, in some cases, paid a financial compensation for the time they were wrongly imprisoned).
There is a long history of corrupt judges and corrupt politicians or dictators killing people for reasons of political convenience, rather than in the interest of justice. Once we start executing people, it makes it much easier for corrupt politicians to silence their opponents forever. People may have knowledge of crimes, and once they are killed that knowledge dies with them. Members of minority groups which are subject to racial discrimination have historically been much more likely to be put to death than members of dominant ethnic groups, so that is another injustice. Poor people are more likely to be executed than the wealthy, since the wealthy can afford better lawyers. That is another injustice.
In the US capital punishment usually leads to very long drawn out appeals processes which wind up being very expensive to the taxpayer, even more expensive than life imprisonment (which is also very expensive).

What US Supreme Court cases supported the death penalty?
The Supreme Court has never declared that the death penalty is unconstitutional. In the 1972 case of Furman v. Georgia, the Court ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional as applied in three specific cases. This effectively put a moratorium on the death penalty as lower courts struggled to determine when (or if) the death penalty could be applied. The Furman opinion was per curium, with each of the nine justices writing their own opinions (5 concurring and 4 dissenting).Four years later, in 1976, the Supreme Court made clear in the case of Gregg v. Georgia that the death penalty wasconstitutional. Georgia had amended their death penalty statute in the interceding four years and now had additional protections for the defendant in capital cases, including a two-phased trial: one for guilt and one for sentencing.The Court in Gregg summarized Furman thusly:"While Furman did not hold that the infliction of the death penalty per se violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishments, it did recognize that the penalty of death is different in kind from any other punishment imposed under our system of criminal justice. Because of the uniqueness of the death penalty, Furman held that it could not be imposed under sentencing procedures that created a substantial risk that it would be inflicted in an arbitrary and capricious manner."
