Look up the case of Ken McDuff, he is the perfect example of a paroled murderer killing again. He was originally sentenced to death and when the DP was abolished his sentence was changed to life. He was then released and went on to kill several people. The same will happen again if the anti's are able to abolish the death penalty. Ok guys sorry to bother you but I seriously need HELP!

If you visit our main site at www.prodeathpenalty.com and click on the link that says "Death Penalty Paper", you will find a lot of information on many aspects of the death penalty. The headline quote on our site is a great thing to use regarding the deterrence issue in a debate or report: "If we execute murderers and there is in fact no deterrent effect, we have killed a bunch of murderers. If we fail to execute murderers, and doing so would in fact have deterred other murders, we have allowed the killing of a bunch of innocent victims. I would much rather risk the former. This, to me, is not a tough call." --John McAdams - Marquette University/Department of Political Science, on deterrence. There are other good quotes at the top of almost every section. You might also considering reviewing some of the cases that are outlined at the Scheduled Executions section. I also recommend reading some of the articles in the Articles and Interviews section. For information about people who were killed by people with prior murder convictions, please see the "Once a murderer..." page. |

Ok guys sorry to bother you but I seriously need HELP! First for the debate I have all my points but I need cold hard facts like how many people could have been saved if paroled murders were executed Many more than 821 because that was the known number back in 1984. “Of the roughly 52,000 state prison inmates serving time for murder in 1984, an estimated 810 had previously been convicted of murder and had killed 821 persons following their previous murder convictions. Executing each of these inmates would have saved 821 lives." (41, 1 Stanford Law Review, 11/88, pg. 153). “9-15% of those on death row committed, at least, one additional murder, prior to that murder (or those murders) which has currently put them on death row; 67% had a prior felony conviction; 42% had an active criminal justice status when they committed their capital offense.” Here is some more recent, but less specific information: The rearrest rate for violent offenders remained relatively stable (59.6% in 1983 compared to 61.7% in 1994). www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/reentry/recidivism.htm |

Well, Jack Henry Abbott wasn't scheduled for execution in NY for murder, but he was paroled from prison, only to murder again.
