For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.

Albert Camus

               

Death, Often, Law

Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.

The death penalty is discriminatory and does not do anything about crime.

Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility, or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage, don't move to California.

I believe that people would be alive today if there were a death penalty.

I'm not in favor of the death penalty. But I'm in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else.

John Grisham

               

Death, Away, Everybody

Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.

Pope Benedict XVI

               

Death, War, Opinion

You know, the Bible is so clear. Go to Genesis chapter nine and you will find the death penalty clearly stated in Genesis chapter nine... God ordains the death penalty!

Rafael Cruz

My objection to the death penalty is based on the idea that this is a democracy, and in a democracy the government is me, and if the government kills somebody then I'm killing somebody.

If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers.

I think life is sacred, whether it's abortion or the death penalty.

I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.

Jack Kevorkian

               

Death, Seem, Admit

The death penalty, I think, is a terrible scar on American justice, especially the concept of equal justice under law, but also of due process. And it goes state by state, and it's different in different states.

Burke Marshall

               

Death, Justice, Law

I support the death penalty. But I also think there has to be no margin for error.

George Ryan

I don't have any authority to talk about the domestic policies of America. But as an outsider, I am mystified by the fact that you are encouraged to buy a gun, but if you use it for the purpose that it is expressly designed for, you get the death penalty. That aspect of America is kind of mystifying.

Nick Cave

There's a War Crimes Act in the United States passed by a Republican Congress in 1996, which says that grave breaches of the Geneva Convention are subject to the death penalty. And that doesn't mean the soldier that committed them - that means the commanders.

Noam Chomsky

               

Death, War, Mean

We as Americans believe it's OK to kill people. We believe it's OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. We think it's OK to invade a country where we think Osama Bin Laden is and he's in the other country. So we just go in and we just kill. And we have the death penalty; we sanction it.

Michael Moore

The death penalty is being applied in the United States as a fatal lottery.

First of all, it does not deter crime, the death penalty.

Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty... mine's putting in an express lane.

Had it not been for slavery, the death penalty would have likely been abolished in America. Slavery became a haven for the death penalty.

McVeigh's lawyer got him the death penalty, which, quite frankly, I could have done.

We have abolished the death penalty for humans, so why should it continue for animals?

You can't reconcile being pro-life on abortion and pro-death on the death penalty.

Sometimes I can tackle an issue -homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty - and wrap a good story around it. These are the best books, the ones with a story and a message.
