Looking at statistics and seeing the movie Deadline, I have come to the realization that our justice system is racist. I think that when a jury see’s someone of color and low-income, they are quick to judge and don’t find the person of worth to society. Due to this, right off the bat I think they get the idea of the death sentence in their head. I really cannot think of a way to cover this flaw, because there is really no way to change the jury’s perception of somebody. I think that the only way to stop it, is to abolish the death penalty.
I find the death penalty to be “cruel and unusual” punishment, in any form of execution. I think that the Constitution is the biggest document in the US, if not the world, and in my eyes the death penalty does not follow something that our country has been built around. This makes me hate the death penalty even more, and I think that they should abolish it, because killing someone for any reason is not right, and is very cruel.
