Capital punishment in Texas is unjust

My opponents quotes will be in bold and italicized. Like so. While this fact may seem interesting, I will explain why Wisconsin has half the murder rate. [1] Wisconsin's Population - 5,686,986[1] Texas's Population - 25.145,561Texas has five times the amount of people, so when you say that Wisconsin has half the murder rate, this logically explains that outcome. I am not sure how this is correct. According to Beaura of Criminal Justice, there has been a decrease in crime after Capital Punishment was increased. While this was said in September 2000, we can see overall it does, in fact, deter crime, and is more "recent" going all the way up to the end of 2000. . http://wesleylowe.com......I'll treat these together with another source. [1]. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org...This shows that from 1990 to 2010 murder rates in death penalty states are greater than murder rates in non-death penalty states. This clearly shows that states that use the death penalty has a greater murder rate than those states who do not. My opponent is completely misconstruing my whole contention and avoiding the key argument within that. I will re-quote a passage from my contention two, sub point A:Even though we are calculating a 75% greater cell cost for the DP than for equivalent LWOP cases, equivalent LWOP cases appear to be significantly more expensive, over time, than their DP counterparts. For years, opponents have improperly compared the cost of all LWOP cases to DP cases, when only the DP equivalent LWOP cases are relevant. I don't really understand this refutation. I have already showed how Death penalty expenses are much more than the expenses of Life without parole. This whole rebuttal is flawed. If you re-read my sub point B, I specify TWO cases where this is NOT the face. The first one with James Moore, where the family spared his life for life time imprisonment was eligible for parole in a couple of years. What is so "just" about that? If we look at my second example with Kenneth McDuff, we see, again, my opponent is misleading you. Kenneth killed a 16 year old girl, and two boys and was sentenced to life in prison. He was released because of overflowing in the prisons, and then killed again. Prostitute Sarafia Parker, 31, had been beaten, strangled and dumped in a field. He was then again released because of parole. James Moore: I was specifying life imprisonment with parole is a much more just punishment than the death penalty. Kenneth McDuff: This was just a flaw in the system. I'll admit a much better solution to the "overflowing" could have been completed. Once again, I specified life imprisonment without parole is much more just than the death penalty. As we can see here, an innocent man wasn't killed, but was actually let go due to the unfairness of the trial. The fact that a innocent man was nearly killed is a very strong case against the death penalty. There have been many less fortunate innocent victims who have been wrongfully executed. "Again, my opponent doesn't show a case of a man being wrongfully executed. "You have only showed one potentially valid standpoint, yet there are a few more you did not reference, which I now will.1. Muneer Deeb Texas Conviction 1985 Released 1993 Deeb was originally sentenced to death for allegedly contracting with three hitmen to kill his ex-girlfriend. The hitmen were also convicted and one was sentenced to death. Deeb consistently claimed no involvement in the crime. Deeb's conviction was overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in 1991 because improper evidence had been admitted at his first trial. With an experienced defense attorney, Deeb was retried and acquitted in 1993. My opponent fails to understand the resolution were debating. We need to look at specifically Texas, and not other states that may be unjust. I have shown why Capital Punishment in Texas is the most just way with dealing with criminals. You can compare certain other states to determine whether it is unjust ot not. ConclusionI have shown why, in Texas, Capital Punishment is unjust, thus affirming the resolution.
