Capital Punishment Should be Abolished
R1) The right to life In this argument my opponent says that sentencing criminals to death is a direct violation to Article 3 of basic human rights. Well criminals on death row typically murder and take away that right from another so therefore must have that right taken away R2: Justice Justice in the united states is a big deal my opponent took my words and twisted them by saying "we don't rape rapist." When the point I was trying to make is that BIGGER crimes deserve BIGGER punishment therefore he did not win any point on justice because he failed to prove that wrong. R3: Innocence In this my opponent brings up a very INTRESTING point about how innocent people may be convicted of this huge crimes they did not do, and even provides a static that 148 people were exonerated and released from death row which makes his argument on it not being fair COMPLETLY invalid this shows that it is fair that they had their chance to get off of death row prove their innocence and that's exactly what they did! Which should be a point to me! R3: Methods In this my opponent states that the methods are horrible and inhumane. I provided evidence in Round 2 showing how it is not and even if was just think about it they're dying anyway weather it last for seconds or hours, is that even comparable to the years of tortures families have waiting for justice? R4: Prejudice/ Lawyer quality I as a minority, understand prejudice all too well. but the fact of the matter is these people had a right to a fair trial and a lawyer. Which determining if a lawyer is good or not is simply opinionated he failed to say if these lawyers lost every case won every case, regardless of that even these lawyers went to school YEARS AND YEARS OF SCHOOL to get where they are today and you mean to tell me they aren't good? and that these death penalty inmates don't have a right to a good lawyer because they all went to school and got their degrees. Regardless of race you did the crime, sadly it just so happens that blacks have been tried and convicted for this more than that of their white counterparts. Conclusion My opponent failed to prove that capital punishment was wrong. He supplied us with mere moral arguments as to why it was wrong, which is a Kritik within itself and should be grounds for lose. Capital punishment is not a horrible thing it should be allowed I negated all of my opponents arguments! thank you opponent thank you voters. Vote for me :) (P.s I know there are 50 states that was a typo)
