Reply to:"Against the Death Penalty ?"

The execution of innocent people it is not a thought or believes that people have, it is a real fact that can be verified! Out of the 850 criminals that were sentence to death, 101 were proved innocent and taken out of the death row in time. That gives a 12% chance that at least one out of the 371 inmates in the Texas death roll is innocent.
Death penalty also doesn't help lower crime rates. Studies have shown that the average murder rate is lower in the states that do not have the death penalty than the ones that do. Here are some of the National Murder Rate for comparison:
The alternative punishment for the death penalty is life without parole. That is no such thing as getting out for “good behavior” when sentence to life without parole. Ones convicted, the criminal must serve the full life (40 years in Texas) sentence before been eligible for parole. After the full life sentence is served in incarceration, the parole board will have hearings to decide if the inmate should be released. Parole is not automatic even after the 40 years.
All the information I’ve provided in this post is reliable and trustworthy. Everything can be supported through some research.
