I feel that the death penalty should not be banned as it is a section that is inherent to the 8th Amendment. And there are many crimes committed that requires the death penalty to be pronounced oin them so that they are not repeated in the future and they are kept as examples for the criminals who are planning to commit such crimes. And I feel that there are some people who commit such heinous activities who do not need to live anymore. And this is not the end that is bringing everything to an end.
