Argument: Death Penalty

Assertion

• The death penalty should be legal in every state and used.

Evidence 1

• In 1985, 13 year old Karen Patterson was shot and killed along with Ben Atkins, the killer's step-father. "Her killer was a neighbor who had already served 10 years of a life sentence for murdering his half-brother Charles," and he was later given parole because his step-father convinced the parole commity to give Joe Atkins parole.

Commentary

• If Joe had recieved the death penalty instead of parole, Karen and Ben would still be alive.
• I wonder why people think people who kill won't do it again.

Evidence 2

• In 1965, Robert Massie murdered Mildred Weiss and he was later caught and later released on parole ,because he tesified against his accomplise. Eight months later he killed Boris Naumoff.

Commentary

• Yet another example of why the death penalty should be used.
• It's stupid that Rob was given the death penalty for murdering somebody and then they think he's fit to go back into society just cause he testified against his accomplise.

Opposing Claim

• People say the death penalty shouldn't be used because it's "inhumane".
• Some people think that the death penalty should only be used in certain cases.

My Rebuttal

• I think the death penalty should be used in any case deserving the death penalty.

My paragraph
The death penalty should be legal in every state and used. In 1985, 13 year old Karen Patterson was shot and killed along with Ben Atkins, the killer's step-father.

People say the death penalty shouldn't be used because it's "inhumane". Some people think that the death penalty should only be used in certain cases. I think the death penalty should be used in any case deserving the death penalty.
My Thinking
This paragraph is based on inductive thinking because people can still say the death penalty shouldn't be used at all.
