Death Penalty States Mentally Retarded People
1,107 words
Old Sparky and Gruesome Gertie (affectionate names
for the electric chair) have taken the lives of
many, even the innocent (Finnerty 18). They are
prejudiced and lack compassion. However, many
Americans believe that they represent justice.
Capital punishment does not represent justice, but
vengeance and hate. Among the 7, 000 people
estimated to have been killed in the United States
between 1900 and 1985, at least 23 were innocent
(Finnerty 18). In at least 8 of 261 executions

prove that Leopold and Loeb were mentally impaired
at the time of murder and indeed unaware of their
actions throughout the scheme of events. Darrow
had to convince the judge that Leopold and Loeb
committed the murder because of their mental

Abolish The Death Penalty Mentally Retarded
1,184 words
The sentence of capital punishment is an expensive
barbaric alternative for punishing a criminal.
Where does the hostility and ignorance stop once
it begins? Murder is unaccepted by society, yet
people seem to pacify themselves by killing
criminals. Is that not considered to be murder?
Sentencing a criminal to death does not solve the
questions and problems that are left behind.
Parents will still cry for a child that is never
coming home. Mourning families will still carry a
never-ending hearta...

... grip of left-wing wackos. There is no doubt
that special education programs involve many
ethical issues, however, they are not as dramatic
as we often are made to believe. The most
important of them is different treatment of
children at school, which is based on their
genetic inadequateness. The watchdogs of political

mental retardation, along with inbred physical
deformities, is 99 % genetically predetermined. In
