The Death Penalty Debate In Connecticut
This article is from the town of my alma mater, Wesleyan University, in Middletown, Connecticut. There is much debate around Connecticut's upcoming execution, the first in 40 years. Some opinions are as follows:
"If 12 people feel you are guilty and there is enough evidence, you should die," said Eldridge. "I believe in an eye for an eye. I probably shouldn’t because I’m Catholic, but that’s just what I believe."When talking to some of the people that end of defending some of the people that could wind up on death row, cries against the death penalty are expected.
"I find it deeply disturbing the state is so preoccupied with death," said Attorney Norman Pattis.
"I feel disgusted by the state’s blood lust."
I too am a bit troubled by the blood thirtiness of our society lately. Scott Peterson is a great example of that.
