 * Death Penalty is an Unusual or Just Punishment?**
 * by Ana Cecilia Gonzalez**

Death penalty, better known as Capital Punishment is a judicial system which has the power to kill prisoners if they had committed a crime. Death penalty is a controversial topic that many people do not have a clear decision on. Many people who backed  death penalty, while others wish the death penalty to be abolished, and others who support death penalty, but only in certain cases. Death penalty is a bad idea to apply in the law systems because it costs much money and nobody has the power to kill someone else and play as God.

Death penalty has an expensive cost because of the whole process it has. According to Committee on Public Defense (2006),“Death penalty cases are estimated to generate roughly $470,000 in additional costs to the prosecution and defense over the cost of trying the same case as an aggravated murder without the death penalty and cost of $47, 000 to $70,000 for court personnel”. The entire process cost so much money that it could be use in other areas like education or helped poor people, but the government prefer to spend all this money just in one person, in fact is cheaper keeping criminal in prison for the rest of his life that killing them. There is another crucial point against to the death penalty.

Nobody has the power to deprive the life of someone else and play as God. According to ProCon (2012), “It has no deterrent effect on crime, wrongly gives governments the power to take human life, and perpetuates social injustices by disproportionately”. Many religions follow the God´s rules, and the most import which says “ thou shall not kill”; if the justice applies this punishment, they are going to contradict to the church and the most important to God. Besides, According to New York Times (2007), “ it is a morally outrageous  practice whatever its deterrent  effect: it reduces society to the ethical level of the murderer”. In ethical area someone kill someone in any instance both are going to be doing the same and it is not accepted in the society. Between death penalty, there is something which would help the society.

 Government should apply hardest punishment for the people who commits crimes. According to Mentuk (2011) “Capital punishment permanently removes the worst criminals from society and should prove much safer for the rest of us than long term or permanent incarceration”. Applying death penalty the most perilous criminals are not going to be in the streets, and the society is going to be saved. This punishment must be regularize <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;"> for the judicial system, according to the U.S. Supreme Court (1992) “penalty must be proportional to the crime; otherwise, the punishment violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments”. Not all the crimes should pay with this punishment that’s why is necessary to do an investigation and depending the level of the crime is the punishment. The government must regularize this law and has and order during the process.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow',sans-serif;">Death penalty is a huge problem in the entire world; although nobody has the power to kill someone else, it punishment is a great solution to reduce the crime in the society. Although it is a law in some countries, it shouldn’t be accepted because it’s not clear the methods how the law system apply it. Everybody has opportunity of a second change; even a murder committed a crime, they should pay in jail but not whit their life. We should think, if the judicial system commits a mistake with someone and this person received this punishment and is innocent; how this can be remedied?
