ESSAY ON: Current Death Penalty Sentences: Arbitrary

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: 3 pages in length. In light of the definition of arbitrary, if the death penalty was outlawed for being capricious based on the lack of guidelines, it stands to reason that current death penalty sentences fit the definition of arbitrary. One only need look at the most recent episode involving a potential death penalty case where a teenager knowingly took the life of another human being but is being tried as a juvenile without possibility of death. In essence, the decision to arbitrarily impose the death penalty upon only one of two individuals who both committed the crime of murder simply because one is over eighteen years of age speaks to a wholly subjective and illogical judicial system. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
