.                      Capital Punishment
    Capital Punishment is wrong because of the chances of an innocent man getting executed. Likewise, Capital Punishment is a murderer for family members alike. Capital Punishment is also ignoring the ten commandments and the voice of our Bishop. Similar to this, A Stranger Is Watching has a connection about Capital Punishment

    Capital Punishment is not the way to solve problems to deal with people who have the wrong. In some cases, in the novel, Sharon Martin was against capital punishment.    Using Capital Punishment feels like another way for an act of terrorism upon the people. Many people believe that Capital Punishment is not reinforcing to the people who have done the wrong but making us into killers.

    Sometimes in court, there are chances of error and there aren’t enough evidence to show that the convicted is not really the bad guy but the court chose to “rid’ the bad person. We should gain more evidence to and use more clues to find more information such as using finger prints. It is really hard to tell if you are talking to the right person to convict. We must find more evidence before we start killing innocent people and letting the bad go free and unpunished. In addition from the evidence of the novel, the stranger is watching, Ron Thompson was convicted and sentenced to Capital Punishment because Neil. He was the boy who lost his mother from a murder and thought it was Ron. The court for the decision of Ron Thompson came to an conclusion that he killed Nina Peterson. If there would be more of a story to add of this murder,without thinking the court instead relied on Neil's imformation. If the New York Police Department were to get finger prints on Nina’s neck, then maybe the court doesn’t need to put an innocent man behind bars and take his time away from society. Further more from other sources of the Stanford Law Review Documents , Many convicted murderers are later found innocent, and have been pardoned. You can’t pardon the corpse. In the Stanford Law Review Documents, it says that at least 350 people were sentence to death between the year 1900 and 1985 in America. The court of Stanford also found out that about 139 people were innocent during the execution. This would be the beginning of a downfall for Capital Punishment.

    Likewise, Capital Punishment feels like it is against the ten commandments and ignoring the voice of the Bishop. Many of the Catholic people  knows the ten commandments however, Capital Punishment is taking us away from God and we are breaking one of God’s commandments, number six. Number six says not to kill, killing people makes their souls got to hell, some Christians believe. Although there no reference about God in the novel, in the beginning of the court, they swear in the holy bible that they tell the truth for God sees everything. Many innocent victims who were convicted always had faith that say in their minds “only God knows what happened” quote said by Lee. Moreover of the novel, Our Bishop says that the Human is intrinsic and was made by our God. A death penalty denies the sacredness of the human life and killing prisoners. This is also doing is rejecting Gods gift of the human life.

    Capital Punishment makes the family pay for losing a family member, when someone dies because of the death penalty, it doesn’t just affects the person who dies, it also affects the family members and friends who knew the person who just got executed. In addition from the novel, Ron Thompson was convicted to capital punishment. I t did not just affect him about having a death penalty. It also affected Ron Thompson’s mom Mrs. Thompson and Sharon Martin, who fought for him in court. Mrs. Thompson was worried about Ron and she know that he couldn’t be the one who killed Nina. Similarly, People from the family lost a family member had no choice but just to let it happen. killing ones family member from capital punishment gives them hell and torture for their family name. Many family members of the United States says that instead of killing one person in capital punishment, it kills the whole family their innocents.Steven Truscott was wrongly convicted said the house of commons in Canada, CBC news. The Truscott family was saddened by this act and protested against Capital Punishment.

    In conclusion, Capital Punishment is the accordingly way to get rid of criminals whom have done the wrong. Using Capital Punishment is sending us back to the dark ages and sometimes we kill the wrong person. Capital Punishment is the cost of loss our family members and making us have to suffer from that event. Before we can execute people, we must find more stories to add and find more evidence or else we might let the real murderer go free.
