The death penalty has been around for many centuries’, and is still practiced as a form of punishment in thirty-two states in America. Capital punishment should be abolished for so many reasons. First, tax payers are paying far more money out just by keeping the death penalty in legislation. The majority of the money spent is going to trial costs and appeals. Second, there is no real evidence that capital punishment reduces crime. studies have shown that executing people for capital offenses does not reduce nor increase crime rates. Last, the killing of an innocent person could never be changed. One hundred and forty-four people have been exonerated from death row since 1977, and some were just moments away from death. Overall, these are just a few reasons to why America should stop capital punishment. America should not promote the killing of another as a form of punishment.
