Persuasive Capital Punishment

Kenneth McDuff is one of the most sadistic, vicious murderers of all time. McDuff was first sent to prison in 1968 for the savage murder of 3 teenagers. He should have died on the electric chair then and there but instead was released on parole. He had been in and out of prison a total of 3 times before finally being executed in 1990. Throughout that time, he brutally murdered more than 16 young women. McDuff is known for his “broomstick murders” in which he would crush the throats of his victims with a broomstick. The lives of a many women could have been spared if he would have been executed on the electric chair the first time he was brought in.

Of the five guns, one was loaded with a blank so that no one would be able to determine who fired the fatal shot.” Not even animals are put down that way. They are euthanized properly by injection like is done with humans. This is how people should be executed, as it is efficient and humane. Another example that shows that lethal injection is a more humane way to have someone executed is the fact that this process is very straight to the point and gets the job done. In other countries, a man can commit murder and get sentenced to death by Ling Chi or slow slicing, the process in which a person gets their throat slit extremely slow or cut a multiple times around the body until eventually the person bleeds out and dies. Capital punishment shouldn 't be looked at as retribution, but rather justice for the victim’s family. Through lethal injection, the execution would get done relatively
