Today i read in the news that the rate of using the death penalty has hit a thirteen year low. After reading this, I was glad to hear that many states are rethinking their methods of punishing criminals. Although I do that criminals should be punished, I do not feel that the death penalty is the way to handle it. The death penalty has become too much of an everyday thing, something that people have been used to hearing about. People’s lives are not something that is to be taken lightly and putting someone in and electric chair or giving them a lethal injection is not something that Americans should become accoustmed to hearing about. We should have a reaction when we hear that the death penalty is being put to use and I think that the United States and starting to realize this once again.
