The Death Penalty

------- The Death Penalty -------         By: Brendan Moriarty 04/28/96 -Preface: Let it be noted now that this speech is very opinionated.                  I strongly believe that the Death Penalty is a form of punishment to be used when needed. Which opens up the question, when should it be used? That may be the breaking point in a lot of arguments, deciding when to use the death penalty is a very touchy subject. I believe that only murderers …

…was beaten, tied to a tree and shot through the head, all in front of the woman's eyes. For the next few days, the woman was tortured and raped repeatedly and was almost killed in the end.         So, put yourself in those victim's shoes, imaging the physical and mental pain of the ordeal. Now what do you think? Should the murderers receive a little bit of pain on their way out? I think it's justifiable.
