Capital punishment is justifiable under the US law. In the US constitution it states " No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." This an excerpt from the fifth amendment. The leaders of the US realize that in order to keep American citizens safe the death penalty must be in act for serious criminals. Not all murderers will stop killing just because they have been caught and are released on parrol. I think that in order to really stop murderers and serious criminals the death penalty must be in act.

This was a pretty good blog, there did not seem to be too many opinions throughout this blog however. I liked how you used to Constitution as a source instead of an actual website. One grammer mistake was that you said "released on patrol" Im pretty sure you meant parrol. But it was a good blog overall.
