This article talks about how we should keep the death penalty. The writer talks about how the vilest criminals can only be stopped with the death penalty. He discusses the events revolving around Lawrence Singleton, who kidnapped, raped and attempted murder on a woman named Mary Vincent. After serving eight years in prison, he was let out on parole for good behavior. He was relocated to Florida, where he killed a 31-year-old woman. The jury recommended the death penalty, but Singleton died of cancer in prison before he could receive his punishment. He argues that if he had received the death penalty for his first crime, it could have saved the life of the 31-year-old. He explains that with our modern technology, we can avoid false accusations, and the death penalty is a viable punishment for those who commit terrible crimes.
