According to the Bill of Rights, the death penalty is Cruel and Unusual punishment in many ways. 1 in 10 people are usually innocent and still receive the death row relating to the fact that it usually unjust. This is Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

The death penalty violates the right to life which happens to be the most basic of all human rights. It also violates the right not to be subjected to torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment, violating the 8th amendment

Killing the person who committed the crime will not undo the crime that has taken place. Why kill people to show killing is wrong?

It sends the wrong message: why kill people who kill people to show killing is wrong. Killing the person who committed the crime will not undo the crime that has taken place.

Many people do not realize that carrying out a single death sentence for a criminal costs 2 to 5 times more than that putting that same criminal in prison for the rest of his or her life, This is due to the costs, which include but are not limited to, investigation costs, cost of processing evidence, substantial lawyer fees, amount of trials, number of extensive appeals, substantial security costs, and incarceration costs.

The death penalty is seen to violate the “cruel and unusual” clause in the Bill of Rights. How is putting someone in an electric chair and injecting them with unknown substances killing them instantly normal to you? THIS is inhumane.

Poor defense of trial; One of the most frequent causes of reversals in death penalty cases is ineffective assistance of counsel. A study at Columbia University found that 68% of all death penalty cases were reversed on appeal, with inadequate defense as one of the main reasons requiring reversal.
