      Capital Punishment Justice at Work - Richard Frank Kirchner

      Appendix

      Introduction

      In society today it seems no matter what topic you discuss, or what position you take, half the people will disagree with you.

      Social media seems to be the new vehicle to spread false information. People express their views on everything, whether or not, they have knowledge about the subject.

      It seems to be difficult to find people with knowledge on a subject because even the most prominent people in the field, so called Experts, disagree with each other.

      This brings us to the topic of the death penalty.

      The Death Penalty Information Center in 2017 released an article that stated 31 states favor the death penalty and 19 states are not in favor of the death penalty. Over time these numbers have fluctuated and, in all probability, will continue to fluctuate.

      The information being offered is intended to enlighten the reader in these 19 states of the need for all 50 states to follow the same rules of law to insure a safe society.

      Capital Punishment

      aka

      the Death Penalty

      Since Adam and Eve, society has acknowledged two opposing forces. One good and one evil. Most people are good and need protection from the people who are evil and prey on them.

      This is sometimes referred to as the need for justice. Keeping justice in mind when we review history, Criminal Codes have been written as far back as the Ancient Laws of China. The death penalty has been established as a necessary punishment for crime.

      1. 18th Century BC, the Code of King Hammurabi of Babylon codified the death penalty.

      2. 14th Century BC, the Hittite Code also prescribed the death penalty.

      3. 7th Century BC, Draconian Code of Athens made death the penalty for every crime committed.

      4. 5th Century BC, the Roman Law of the twelve tablets codified the death penalty.

      The most NOTORIOUS death execution in the BC period was about 399 BC when the Greek philosopher Socrates was required to drink poison for heresy and corruption of youth.

      The most INFAMOUS execution in history occurred between 30 and 33 A.D. with the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ outside Jerusalem. The Code of Theodosius was enacted 438 A.D. making more than 80 crimes punishable by death.

      With the discovery of America, English Law prevailed prior to the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence.

      Britain influenced America’s use of the death penalty in the 13 colonies. There were more than 200 offenses punishable by death.

      The first recorded execution in the new Colonies, was Captain George Kendall in Jamestown Virginia in 1608. He faced the firing squad for espionage.

      American Criminal Justice System

      An approach to the study of the American Criminal Justice System is commonly referred to as the Consensus Model.

      America has a criminal justice system consisting of
