- By the time I am done with my presentation, I would like my audience to do the following :
1- Put themselves in the a situation where they have a relative who is to face death penalty.
2- Consider if death penalty has any advantage – for instance does it reduce the crime rate?
3- Come up with alternative to death penalty.
4- Think of what God would say about taking other people’s life in the name of punishment.
Death penalty in the US
Death penalty is legal.
The last person was executed in 2016 in Florida (Berman, 2016).
There are different ways of executing.
The court authorizes the executions and the method to be used.
One must have committed a heinous act to be executed.
In the united states, the death sentence is legal. The form of punishment was last implemented last year in the sate of Florida. There are different ways of execution but they are all determined by the magnitude of the offence. Though the death penalty is effective, a person must have engaged in a crime which is a threat to the society.

Death penalty is not right
No one has the right to take another ones life.
There are other forms of punishment which can be used instead of a death sentence.
People deserve a second chance.
The society should not condone the death penalty (Amnesty International, 2016).
The leaders have an obligation of making sure that people are not killed because of their wrong doings.
It is the right of each and every person to live. No one has the right to take the life of the other. the only person who has the right to take ones life is the person who gave the life. Though people might be cruel at times, they should be given a second chance to change and be good members of the society. However, such cannot happen if all people are comfortable with the death penalty. People should rise up and condemn the act with the strongest term possible. The leadership should rise up and discourage the penalty.
