what is the death penalty?
the punishment of execution, administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime. my point of view:
Its not right killing other people for their crime because you will be doing the same thing when you sentence them to death. A lot of the times the poor people are sentenced to death when they are really innocent because they can`t buy a good lawyer to defend them.
