I think that the government should get rid of the death penalty. if someone commits a crime it is more punishment for them to stay life in prison then to be dealt with once and never again. and with the movie we watched, they are still questioning whether he was innocent or guilty. so what if they found someone is innocent? you can not bring them back to life but you can however release them from jail. the death penalty is way too serious and our goverenment should not have an option like that.
