Concerns about Death Penalty

Death Penalty is said to be given to a person who had harmed someone or done inhuman act in society. But it is not doing any justification as justice is also taking away the life of culprit without giving them the chance to improve.
 " Everyone should be given a second chance in life."
   Even a criminal should get an opportunity to improve themselves. Not always taking away an offender's life would help recover pain and grief of victim and his/her family.

Revenge is not always an option. Sometimes in process of giving pain and punishment to criminal we forget about the victim. In this long process of appeals and hearing the victim instead of healing would feel more grieved. Some victims go into trauma and some attempt to finish there life as it feels that incident is being raped.

Frances Andrade the girl who was being assaulted by her music teacher killed herself. Her best friend and son mentioned that she bursted into tears after the hearing and it was like she was assaulted all over again in witness box. Tina Renton who was also assaulted by her stepfather. She states that it is not easy to come forward and put yourself in front of the croweded court. She said that sometimes in her sleep also those court hearing haunt her and for long time she was traumatic. 

If we see then death sentence is kind of the easiest punishment a criminal can get for his sin. As he would not face or feel what that victims has gone through and the impact that incident would have on a victim. Taking away life from someone in just one go cannot bring back or heal the pain and emptiness of victims family. While their should be tourters done to a criminal that they should have realization of what other person has gone through.

According to research by professor Scott Vollum and his colleagues of Minnesotta University found that only 2.5 percent were happy with that, while 20.1 percent said that execution won't help them heal.
                      Lula Redmond therapist in florida stated that- "More often than not, families of murder                              victims do not experience the relief they expected to feel at the execution."

Death statement sometimes, leads to wrongful convictions. Innocent people are given death penalty just because of either lack of evidence or using wrong evidence. Infact, people also frame other person and that person is put to death. Poor people are not able to hire a good lawyer because they do not have enough money. This results in them losing the case as rich people with help of power, manipulates the evidence. deathpenalty.org tells us about many wrongly convicted cases. Claude Jones was one of them. He was put to sentence in 2000 for liquor-store shooting in 1989. The only evidence was a strand of hair which court supposed that it was his. But after his execution it was revealed that the hair belonged to the victim itself. Prior to execution, his lawyer appealed to stay court's order but no one heard them.

There are many more cases where innocents without any reason have lost their lives. If rather than death penalty, imprisonment should be given as punishment so that, there is a chance of correcting the judgement and saving an innocent.
