"Capital punishment should continue," is an article written by Mike Hashimoto of the Dallas news. In this article Hashimoto is arguing for keeping capital punishment in Texas. Hashimoto gives some strong opinion's for capital punishment. Hashimoto states that capital punishment is "the ulitmate punishment for crimes that demand finality" where as a criminals given a life sentence can still escape and cause more destruction. Also Hashimoto says that capital punishment "sends a powerful message" to detterent crime.
And finally Hashimoto concludes that capital punishment is applied fairly, accurately and sparingly. Hashimoto then lists some statics to prove his point about the fairness "U.S. Justice Department statistics found that black defendants were convicted of 51.5 percent of all murders but made up only 41.3 percent of death row populations. A white murderer, the study found, was about twice as likely to receive a death sentence as a black murderer. " I think this is a good article for pro stance on capital punishment. Hashimoto brings up good points and his article is easy to read and flows nicely.
