Whether someone is sentenced to life or death can depend more on their lawyer than on the crime. A defendant who cannot afford an experienced and competent lawyer is more likely to be sentenced to death than someone who can. One execution is one too many because, no matter how it's carried out, the death penalty is cruel, inhuman and degrading. It s an assault on human dignity and a violation of human rights. An evil deed is not redeemed by an evil deed of retaliation.
Justice is never advanced in the taking of human life.
Morality is never upheld by legalized murder.
