- The death penalty has been used in the U.S. since 1608. But various Supreme Court rulings have limited its use. Here's why it's controversial.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear a government appeal to reinstate the death penalty for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, granting review of a lower court's decision that errors during the trial tainted his sentencing.
If the justices overturn the appeals court, Tsarnaev's death sentence could be reinstated. If they do not, he would nevertheless serve multiple life sentences in prison.
Tsarnaev, 27, was convicted of dozens of crimes in the terror attack that killed three people in 2013, and he received a death sentence in 2015. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit threw out the death sentence last year, finding that the judge in the trial failed to ensure a fair jury after wall-to-wall news coverage of the attack.

you are wrong.
Interesting how the map looks like an electoral college map?
that happens sometimes...
The land of Mistakes... How many mistakes were you going to allow to happen?
THEY CAN NEVER CALL THEMSELVES CIVILISED AS THEYVE THE DEATH PENALTY. 😢
you sound really high whats wrong?
@@Sysop70 How so? The person makes a good point. There is nothing civilized about the death penalty.
@@Andrew-df1dr"Civilized". Here, these are the crimes that get you the death penalty in the United States: murder, assassination, mass murder, child murder, aggravated rape, terrorism, aircraft hijacking, war crimes, treason, and genocide. Nothing civilized about these criminals you seemingly defend.
Now I will let you speak before I make assumptions. Tell me, why should people, whom are definitively proven to have committed the aforementioned crimes, allowed a chance at rehabilitation?
Why would it cost more to try a person to be sentenced the death penalty? Evidence is evidence and trials should be handled the same in all cases.
They get a team of lawyers instead of just one and they get more appeals
My guess is that most people who support the death penalty expect others to do “the dirty work” for them. But remember that when you support the death penalty … those deaths are also on YOU, and that when your own beloved family members become caught up in the process, you also had a personal investment in their deaths.
From the book … Lord High Executioner: An Unashamed Look at Hangmen, Headsmen, and Their Kind … author … Howard Engel
There has never been a case in Britain where a future prime minister has acted on the scaffold, yet in the state of New York, the future President, Grover Cleveland, as sheriff of Erie County, refused to delegate to another the responsibility of executing a criminal. He did the job himself.
On this day we remember that sometimes the most innocent of the people can be executed.
If you mean Jesus, under the laws in effect at the time, he was guilty as charged.
@@Emacee1701 Jesus has nothing to do with criminal who kill for the fun off it that's a job for state justice there are criminal who become Christian but they got too know god loves justice too
Jesus, whether he was the son of god or not, was a political killing. It challenged the status quo of the church’s money collection and the church’s leaders to keep their power and ability to keep getting money. I once sat in on a theology lecture where the visiting speaker was a Southern Baptist preacher who had just finished his PhD and he spoke of how Jesus and the disciples would have most likely been viewed as a terrorist organization in today’s terminology and mindset because of how bluntly they challenged religious leaders and practices, which also impacted the way local and National governments ran. Said even though Christianity was a minority at the time, and Jews were controlled by the Romans, there was an agreement between the ruling Romans and Jewish leaders that kept a delicate and tenuous peace but Jesus and his followers were upsetting that razor thin balance and causing small skirmishes to breakout and there weren’t enough Roman soldiers in the area to truly maintain law and order. If someone or an organization were to appear today with that kind of power, law enforcement and opposing side leaders would work rapidly to have them classified in light of them not breaking any laws but still threatening their grip on control and order of society. And when you look at just about every account, Christian or Jewish or Roman or 3rd party bystander, there’s not a single mention of any crimes being committed by Jesus and his followers other than maybe a disturbing the peace type deal, yet he was still arrested and sentenced to death. Whether you believe in his claim to be the son of god or not, you’ve got to be mindful that governments have run the same for the better part of at least 2000 years in that respect.
I like that Anglicans and Catholics are so so opposed to the death penalty.
Texas should be number 1. They love their death penalty
Oregon voted for death penalty. Then one governor after another decided it's against their beliefs.
That governor is wonderful person.
I am against the death penalty at all costs.
Why , so that u will keep killing people an nothing happened?
one day
what do you prefer as an alternative?
Why do you feel so strongly about it?
Jesus Christ is Lord
God loves you 💕
Gotham state need to adopt this law

Death penalty in US is not mandatory and is too hard to even apply it consistently to have it being effective
Violated antenas for use wings whether lighting rain
Maybe one day the United States will get rid of the death penalty. Its inhumane. 🏵️🏵️
Nope :) it's here to stay
@@Kira7130🤣🤣🤣 except for the us, singapore, taiwan and japan, only third rate countries use it
Due to the recent findings in neuroscience last years they are seeking to ban the death penalty for those under the age of 21 (for the exact same scientific reason why it is already banned for those under 18) this will bring a lot of precedents and has many implications on its own beyond the death penalty. In fact it changes everything, and makes current human rights standards regarding children and juvenile delinquency obsolete, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (they were already obsolete before this though).

Using Capital punishment for justice in the case of murder makes our society just as guilty as that person. Containing a person behind the walls of a penal colony or prison is more humane and it's also the right thing to do as with justice as well. The electric chair is a horribly painful way to die for about usually 20 seconds or so.
No its doesnt
Nobody uses the electric chair anymore. They use lethal injection. I used to think the death penalty was cruel but then I realized that murderers are far more cruel to their victims who will never get another chance at life.
Couldn't said it better my self
bullshit
Quote: Using Capital punishment for justice in the case of murder makes our society just as guilty as that person.
No it does not, when you don't execute swift punishment it makes your
society of people look weak and sympathetic to the criminals.
Quote: Containing a person behind the walls of a penal colony or prison is more humane
Boxing people into cages and cramming them in like sardines is
Extremely inhumane, and 83% of those locked in prison when let
out will commit further offenses within 9 years according to the
department of justice landing them right back in prison again.
Quote: The electric chair is a horribly painful way to die
The bible says murderers are to be stoned, that is the prescribed method
of execution, not electric chairs or gas chambers or lethal injections.
Chris Watts who murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters
should have been stoned too death, that is what the Torah says.
Zuckermber are guilty already just need attorney
I’m so tired of hearing that BS line about “disproportionate number have been black.” Look here’s the raw reasoning for that…if percentage wise there are more black people murdering people than there are murders of other races, then there will obviously be a larger percentage of black people on death row, and executed, than other races. The problem isn’t with the system, the problem is with the population. You don’t hear people up in arms about the extreme difference in the raw numbers when it comes to gang affiliations by race, which is responsible for a large number of both crimes and unsolved crimes. You know why you don’t hear the black community up in arms about that? 2 reasons…1- a large portion of the black community benefits in some fashion by gang activity and 2- that would require them admit that all the complaints they make about “disproportionate numbers of inmates being black” actually didn’t hold any merits due to the known link between gangs and crime, which equates to raw numbers of criminals and validates the FBI’s cold hard facts regarding why there are more black criminals per capita by race than other races!
It refers more to the fact that if you are black you are more likely to receive harsher sentences than whites for the same crimes, including the death penalty, which is serious considering the number of people sentenced to death who could be innocent, in addition to that this completely undermines the principle of proportionality and the right to a fair and impartial trial.
That is another reason why they are also seeking to ban the death penalty for those under the age of 21, apart from the same reasons why it is already banned for under 18s.
@@Sumire973 I’ve got my own thoughts on the death penalty and how it should be levied. I don’t agree with it’s current use, I will say that. However, complete and utter BS to try to restrict it to only those over 18 as long as 18 y/o can vote, enter into contracts, purchase firearms, AND join the military. Now if they want to raise the age of majority on ALL of those items then I’m down with upping it on the death penalty. And rightly so it should be. An 18 y/o doesn’t have the mentality to properly weigh out the true degree of life any of those things bear. (25 years and retired Army here so I truly know the costs of a couple of those items on 18-20 year olds. The military purposely seeks to exploit that youth and ignorance by signing up high schoolers)
As to how the death penalty is used…restrict it to true dangers of society when it comes to murder. And include rapists and pedophiles. You can’t “rehab” that.
@@WonderboyWDE The death penalty for rapists has technically been ruled unconstitutional long time ago if I remember correctly. And regarding the death penalty, the reason why they are seeking to raise the age eligibility is because recent research has found that people aged 18-20, like minors, are equally susceptible to peer pressure., external pressures, and negative influences, which means that they can be manipulated by adults to commit crimes (corruption of minors). Their brains are also not fully capable of handling high-pressure and stressful situations adequately, thought, like younger adolescents. the Late Adolescent Class show cognitive capacity similar to that of adults when they are not under pressure or situations of high emotional arousal.
Regarding rights and duties, I agree that the age to be drafted for war should be 21 or 22 (although I would prefer that conscription be abolished) the same with the unrestricted age of marriage due to the issue of child marriage, and respect the voting age, some countries have lowered it to 16 and therefore have separated it from the standard age of majority, there shouldn't be any issues with that anyway, the discrepancies would be elsewhere, more specifically in current international treaties that should be corrected to reflect the new understanding about adolescents.
The biggest problem we have now is that under the current children's rights treaties, adolescents are not recognized as a population with its own challenges, needs and vulnerabilities (problem that UNICEF and therefore the UN are aware of, because it is something that they themselves recognize), which means that many countries end up passing laws that are either completely arbitrary or don't work with them, or are directly discriminatory, that is an issue that urgently needs to be solved for many more reasons, much more complex than the "old enough to fight, old enough to vote" reasoning that also leads to false equivalences. The Committee on the Rights of the Child is actually aware of this, and that's what happens when you choose an arbitrary age limit for a convention that was originally written in mind for much younger individuals without considering the consequences (and by the way, For this same reason the UNCRC age limit must be raised to 21 since one of the reasons why 18 was chosen was because of the treaties that protected juveniles from things like the death penalty). There is also no consensus on the definition of adolescence, although the APA resolution in the last year is certainly a major step forward in this regard. Even if minors came to have many of the same rights as legal adults as was before the 70s (how ironic that in the 60s university students were fighting for their freedom and today in "democratic" countries we are less and less free) The law would continue to have to differentiate them in order to maintain, among other things, a justice system that is as fair as possible.
@@WonderboyWDENo, even at 15 people should know better. But I agree with the sentence being used.

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The death penalty is never, ever acceptable.
Your soft
@@WestCoastAnglo You don't care about the victims.
@@Andrew-df1dr Obviously I care more than you
@@WestCoastAnglo Obviously you care less or not at all. If you did care you wouldn't put them through the ordeal of having to go though countless appeals by the prisoner. If you did care you would let the family get on with their lives.
@@WestCoastAnglo Surely you can't be serious.
The states with no death penalty are literally hell holes
Surely you can't be serious.
