Feedback

In my last class, my partner and I gave a presentation on the NGO we came up with.
I will share the feedbacks we got from classmates.

"No Ryes For Eyes"

Almost everyone gave 4 or 5 (which are good) to importance of goals and missions, uniqueness, fundraising activities, methods, persuasion and the quality of the video.

Comments:
・The way of the recruiting members are very creative.
・Really difficult problem.
・I didn't get any interest in it by this presentation.
・I think doing a demonstration is a good way.
・It is a difficult problem. We have to deal with them carefully.
・I think that it is good to hold the lectures.
・Presentation was relatively understandable but maybe you can reconsider fund raising.
・Maybe the membership fee is too cheap.
・Perhaps widening fund raising activities.

Since the topic, death penalty, is a very difficult problem, my partner and I struggled to decide what the NGO should be like. We talked a lot and ended up to "No Eyes For Eyes".

Results of the survey

We made the Survey Monkey about the death penalty few weeks ago. We promoted but got only 36 answers. I'll write the results of it.


・Gender:
Female-18 people, Male-18 people

・Age:
From 19 to 55

・Country:
Mostly from Japan and some from the U.S.

・Which do you think is cheaper?
Executing someone-26 people, keeping someone alive in the cell for the rest of their lives-10 people

・Which do you think is better to atone for a sin?
Death penalty-4 people, imprisonment for life-32 people

・Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth?
It is out of date-12 people, I can still agree with this-14 people, Never heard this before-4 people, I'm against the death penalty-6 people

・How often do you hear about the death penalty?
Weekly-6 people, monthly-16 people, yearly-14 people

・If you agree in death penalty, which one do you think is the best way to execute?
Hanging-8 people, lethal injection-14 people, doesn't agree with the death penalty-12 people

・How many countries in the world has the death penalty legal?
Under 25-2 people, under 50-6 people, under 75-10 people, 75 or more-18 people

・What kind of mistakes can happen?
Executing innocent people-34 people, the way to execute may not work-16 people, the prisoner might suicide before death penalty-14 people, the criminal refuses and fights back-4 people, other-2 people (the chemicals used in the lethal injection may be painful or fail to kill the person, the prosoner might find "death" really easy.)

・Do you think the death penalty is cruel?
Yes-12 people, maybe-16 people, no-8 people

・Do you think your impression would change if you knew the criminal?
Yes-16 people, maybe-14 people, no-6 people

・Do you think mental problems might be caused for those carrying out the execution?
Yes-22 people, maybe-6 people, no-2 people

・Do you think all the countries should ban death penalty?
Yes-10 people, maybe-10 people, no-16 people

・If you think there is a difference between murder and the death penalty, please explain your ideas.
There's difference. It's mind of oneself.
I don't think there is any difference. The death penalty is state-sponsored murder.
Murdering is just a crime, no permission from the governor, but death penalty is an order from the government, so that's not a crime.
I think that there are pros and cons to do the death penalty and it is very difficult to decide whether the death penalty is good or bad, but murder will include the mind to hate the people who are innocent, but the death penalty is the way to kill people who are sinful and dangerous to go out of the prisons because of the second offense.
I think the death penalty is a sort of murder...
Death penalty is a penalty, but I still don't agree with it.

Q15. List of pros and cons of death penalty.

Here are the top reasons of pros and cons.

PROS:

・Death penalty costs the government less as opposed to life imprisonment without parole.
・It deters would-be criminals to commit felonies.
・The absence of death penalty is synonymous to crime rate increase.
・It is constitutional and does not violate the Eight Amendment which prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail, fines and cruel and unusual punishments.
・Death penalty is a just punishment for crimes committed against the rights to life, freedom and safety of victims.


CONS:

・Innocent people are wrongly executed.
・In relation to free will, some criminals are suffering from mental illness or are having clouded judgement at the time of the crime.
・It is an added cost to the government and taxpayers' money.
・Death penalty is a form of revenge.
・It is a platform that is anti-poor and discriminatory.

Q14. Any news articles related to the death penalty?

On Friday just before a hearing on whether a man could face the death penalty, he, who's awaiting trial for the slaying woman, slipped out of his shackles and bolted from a courthouse. Broward Court Sheriff Scott Israel said Dayonte Resiles, 21, eluded bailiffs about 9:30 a.m. in a fourth floor courtroom and was seen on video surveillance escaping through an outside north door at the downtown courthouse. His black and white jail jumpsuit and shackles were left behind. Israel said the immediate focus is on capturing Resiles who was described in wanted posters as potentially armed and dangerous. But the sheriff said there are many questions about the escape that need to be answered.

The death penalty will be sought against Jordon Lowdermilk of Dobson suspected of killing an 80-year-old woman at her home and stabbing a man. A pretrial hearing regarding the death penalty will take place on August 30th. Prospectors alleged Lowdermilk broke into woman's house and beat her to death and stole her car. He is next set to appear in court on the murder charges on September 7th.

Q13. Is there any march?

On October 29, 2016, the 17th Annual March to Abolish the Death Penalty will take place in Austin at the Texas Capitol.

About the march to abolish the death penalty: Each autumn since 2000, people from all walks of life and all parts of Texas, the U.S. and other countries have taken a day out of their year and gathered in Austin to raise their voices together and loudly express their opposition to the death penalty. The march is a coming together of activists, family members of those on death row, community leaders, exonerated death row survivors and all those calling for abolition. The march started in Austin in 2000. In 2007 and 2008, the march was held in Houston. It came back to Austin for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. It was in Houston again in 2014 and back in Austin in 2015.

Q12. Are there any quotes about death penalty?

Yes there are. Here are some.

・Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best 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. -Eliot Spitzer

・The death penalty is becoming a way of life in this country. -Dennis Miller

・I believe that people would be alive today if there were a death penalty. -Nancy Reagan

Q10. Why is it said that the death penalty is expensive sometimes?

Death penalty cases cost more than ordinary cases because all the lawyers, judges, and other personnel will put more hours into preparing, trying, and reviewing the issues, given that a life is at stake. Jack D’Aurora of the Behal Law Group, described the time put in by just one federal judge in Ohio reviewing a capital case towards the end of its appeal, including the lethal injection process: “Hearings are attended, at a minimum, by three assistant attorneys general, three attorneys for the inmate, the Lucasville prison warden, the director of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, counsel and other officials from the department, the judge and his two law clerks. These people all are paid by either the state or the federal government. Hearings can last from a few hours to multiple days.”  The judge estimated that he and his staff spend 40 to 60 hours per month on some aspect of the death penalty. D’Aurora noted that recent cases took an average of 21 years between sentencing and execution date. "The cost likely is millions per case,” he noted.  “Life sentences without parole would serve us much better, but we are fixated on a process that drains government resources," he concluded.

(Picture:Jack D’Aurora)

Here are six reasons why it is said expensive:
1. Attorney pay
2. Experts
3. Unpredictability
4. Mitigation
5. Juries
6. Housing

As you can see, the money is not only spent on the execution itself but also the way or the prepariation to carry out so the amount of money to execute is high.

Q9. How does the victim's family feel about death penalty?

Death penalty can bring relief to victim's family. Several friends and relatives of a woman and two children who were stabbed to death on Thanksgiving Day in 2010 were in a  relief.

 "I've watched too many families go through this to make me believe the system will ever work," said Kathy Garcia, whose nephew was murdered 20 years ago. She continued, "The death penalty divides families at the very time they need each other the most." Other family members of murdered victims agreed, suggesting that the money spent on the death penalty could be better used in providing counseling and other support to survivors. Vicki Schieber, whose daughter was murdered in Philadelphia in 1998, told the committee that years of death penalty appeals are excruciating to families. "The system is just too painful," she said.

Q8. Does the death penalty deter crime?

-YES

The number of murders declined by 20% in the State of Utah after the execution by firing squad of convicted killer, Gary Gilmore in 1977. 

A 2003 study by Emory University researchers of data from more than 3,000 countries from 1977 through 1996 found that each execution, on average, resulted in 18 fewer murders per country. 

Another examination, based on the data from all 50 states from 1978 to 1997, economist Paul Zimmerman demonstrated that each state execution deters an average of 14 murders annually.

-NO

Jeffrey Fagan, a professor of law at Columbia University in the U.S. said that there was no credible scientific evidence that the death penalty deters criminal behavior. Also added, "even when executions are frequent and well publicized, there are no observable changes in crime. Executions serve only to satisfy the urge for vengeance. Any retributive value is short lived, lasting only until the next crime." 

As you can see, there are yes and no to this question. Though the statistics are shown, there's no credible scientific evidence so neither can be said.

Q7. Were there any mistakes?

It is said that more than 1,000 innocent people were executed since 1976.
350 people were convicted of capital crimes in the U.S.A between 1900 and 1986 were innocent of the crimes charged, according to a 1995 study. Some prisoners escaped execution by minutes, but 67 innocent people were actually executed. And in Japan, some experts estimate that up to 10% of people executed since 1945 were innocent. Moreover, the number of innocent people convicted of non-capital crime is thought to be even higher.

Q6. What's the history of the death penalty?

The first death penalty laws established in the eighteenth century B.C. in the code of King Hammaurabi of Babylon, which codified the death penalty for 25 different crimes. The death penalty was also part of the Hittite Code in the fourteenth century B.C.  The Draconian Code of Athens, in seventeenth century B.C., made death the lone punishment for all crimes. In the fifth century B.B, the Roman Law of the Twelve Tablets also contained the death penalty. Death sentences were carried out by crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning alive, and impalement. In the tenth century, hanging became the usual method of execution in Britain. And the executions were carried out for such capital offenses such as marrying a Jew, not confessing to a crime and treason. Britain influenced America's use of the death penalty more than any other country.

Q5. When was the first one executed?

In 1890, the death penalty was carried out at Auburn Prison in New York against William Kemmler, who had been convicted of murdering his girlfriend, Matilda Ziegler with an axe. The execution was by electrocution. Though it was in 1890 that the first execution was carried out, electrocution as a humane means of execution was first suggested in 1881 by a dentist. Then in 1889, New York's Electrical Execution Law went into effect so the Auburn Prison electrician, Edwin R Davis was commissioned to design an electric chair. And on August 6, 1890, William Kemmler became the first person to be sent to the chair.

The day William Kemmler was getting execution, he was awakened at five o'clock in the morning in his cell. He dressed up neatly in a suit, white shirt and tie. He ate breakfast and said prayers and his head was shaved. At 6:38 am, he entered the execution chamber. Then he was fastened into the chair. The generator was charged with1,000 volts and the current was passed through Kemmler's body for 17 seconds. He was unconscious but still breathing so the current was turned on again at 2,000 volts. His skin began bleeding, part of his body was seen to be signed and a horrible smell spread through the death chamber. The procedure only took about eight minutes.

Q2. Which country have death penalty?

Here are the countries that have death penalty.
Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Benin, Botswana, Brunei Darussalam, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, North Korea, South Korea, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mongolia, Morocco, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Palestinian Authority, Papua New Guinea, Qatar, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent And and The Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, South Sudan, Swaziland, Syria, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, United States, Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe.Though there are this much of countries that are able to execute, just 21 countries in the world carried out the death penalty in 2012. China has the most highest number of execution, which is thousands in five years but I think this is because of the population in that country. First, I was surprised at the numbers that carries out the death penalty but then when I found the information that says it only carried out in 21 countries, I was surprised again. Articles about facts seems like one person writing with his/her opinion but this cite was from National Geographic so I trust this one.

Q1. List the ways to execute.

Here are the ways to execute:

Lethal Injection, Electrocution, Lethal Gas, Firing Squad, and Hanging are the popular ones now and also, scaphism, guillotine, republican marriage, cement shoes, elephant, walking the plank, bestiarii, mazzatello, upright jerker, sawing, flaying, blood eagle, gridiron, crushing, breaking wheel, the Spanish tickler, burning at the stake, bamboo, premature burial, ling chi, seppuku, brazen bull, Colombian necktie, crucifixion, hanged, drawn and quartered were the ways to execute. 

I heard that the hanging is used to execute in Japan but the government doesn't show further information. On the other hand, the U.S. shows how each state executes in the cite I found. There ware some that I was very surprised and seems really cruel... I trust these two pages I found because it gives us information in detail.

Disadvantages of Death Penalty

I spoke the opposing side of death penalty.

Aaron Galt was talking about disadvantages of death penalty. 

・Some of jury members aren't totally impartial as they decide the death penalty on racial or religious basis.

・Death penalty may reduce crimes but there is no guarantee that the rate of the crime will decrease. 

・Some murders are mentally ill so executing those will be cruel.

・Innocent people may get executed.

・Living in prison for a lifetime may be the best punishment than carrying out the death penalty.

・It depends on the way of death penalty, but mostly it costs more money than keeping one prisoner in the cell.

Presentaion for the agree side of death penalty

My side of this controversy about death penalty is for death penalty. I will give out few reasons why people who are for death penalty actually agree on this idea.

1. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
This is an old saying from the Code of Hammurabi, saying an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This means if someone does something wrong, that person should be punished the way how they have done things wrong. People who is for death penalty mostly believe that there is a point in this saying. Also, the execution sometimes makes the victims family or friends feel better. Their anger and sorrow for getting the ones who they really care about will never fade. Howeer, if that criminal gets executed, they might feel less angry.

2.It will reduce the number of crimes.
There are some opinions that it will reduce the number of crimes if we have death penalty. First, death penalty will be a threat to people who has a thought to commit a crime that he or she might get executed if that person actually commits it. If you commit a bad crime, youll get executed. Also, by executing the criminals who had occured horrible crimes, there will be no repeated conviction from that criminal.

3.Having death penalty is cheaper.
This actually depends on each case. However, it is said that there are many cases that death penalty will be cheaper than having the criminal kept living in jail.

From these three points, there are merits to have death penalty.
