Death Penalty

For the next couple of weeks I am going to concentrate on the highly debatable subject of the death penalty. While I personally believe that executing someone is wrong no matter how "evil" they are, I am aware that there is still a sizeable proportion that support this act in certain cases. My aim is not to have a discussion on whether the death penalty should ever be used although if you wish to know my personal feelings against this I will certainly oblige. My goal is to highlight the unreliability of many death sentences particularly since in all parts of the world, the legal system is far from perfect and many innocent people have been executed by error or for political or tyranical reasons.

So if you are against the death penalty have a look at this site below which gives the recent information on the fight to eradicate the death penalty in the world and the second link is the campaigns part of the site.
