fe as was stated on the survey (Siegel 89). ConclusionAs you can see, capital punishment as an whole is a touchy issue. Both retentionists and abolitionists have their good and bad points. Myown personal belief is that capital punishment is good and should beimplemented, but only in a restricted role. I believe those that havemurdered and have truly felt sorry for what they have done and havehopefully made amends with the Man Upstairs should have a chance forclemency. On the other hand, I do not agree that all life should bepreserved. These exceptions would include folks like terrorists and thosewho had premeditated over there murders and still followed through. Iguess view like mine dont help the situation at all. There are still many people today who, after their executions havebeen found innocent. In the state of Illinois, the death penalty wasabolished because over half of the states death row inmates were foundinnocent. If the executions were followed through, think of all the loss oflife. These are the things that keep this issue in limbo. There will neverbe a solution to it. All we can hope for is that the verdicts and thesentencing is right and that numbers dont lie!...
