Mitigating vs. Aggravating Mitigating vs. Aggravating FactorsFactorsMitigating factor - any information or
evidence presented to the court regarding the defendant or the circumstances of the crime that might result in reduced charges or a lesser sentence
the issue of mitigating factors is most important in death penalty cases
Aggravating factor - any fact or circumstance that increases the severity or culpability of a criminal act
Aggravating factors include recidivism, lack of remorse, amount of harm to the victim, or committing the crime in front of a child, among many others

ForFor the Death the Death PenaltyPenalty “Eye for an Eye, …” old principle of justice i.e. killers
get what they deserve
Deters Crime – people fear nothing more than death
Brings some closure and sense of justice to victim’s family

AgainstAgainst the Death the Death Penalty Penalty Statistics show it does not deter crime
It is unfairly applied and discriminates against minorities and the poor
Killing is wrong no matter who is doing it, including the government

Methods of Methods of ExecutionExecution
In the 32 states and the In the 32 states and the federalfederal government that currently have government that currently have death penalty statutes, there are death penalty statutes, there are five different methods of execution:five different methods of execution:

Supreme Court Supreme Court DecisionsDecisions
In 1972, U.S. executions were briefly halted following the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court on the case of Furman v. Georgia
The Supreme Court held that the death penalty as then applied was unconstitutional because juries were given too much discretion (freedom) in assigning this sentence
States then rewrote their capital punishment laws
In 1978, the Court ruled that new laws were constitutional as long as BOTH aggravating and mitigating circumstances were considered
Executions soon resumed

2002: Atkins v. Virginia. Barred the execution of mentally retarded.
2005: Roper v. Simmons. Barred the execution of juvenile offenders.
2008: Baze v. Rees. Approved execution by lethal injection.
2008: Kennedy v. Louisiana. Restricted the death penalty to crimes in which the victim is killed, or in cases of treason.

Capital Punishment The death penalty in the United
States is limited under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution
In practice, is used almost exclusively for aggravated murders committed by mentally competent adults
It is currently a legal sentence in 32 states, as well as the federal civilian and military legal systems
![Page 42: Expect a low or Failing Employability Grade if you: (Success is a CHOICE) Are absent frequently Are absent frequently Are habitually late for class Are](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d305503460f94a082c1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Capital Punishment Since capital punishment was
reinstated in 1977, thirty-four states have performed executions
The methods of execution and the crimes subject to the death penalty vary by state and have changed over time
Texas has performed the most executions
The most common method since 1976 has been lethal injection

Capital Punishment In 2013, 39 inmates were executed in the United States and 3,108 were on death row – an execution rate of less than 2%
Many states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, and Arizona regularly execute convicted murderers

The search for a quiet and humane form of
executionWith lethal injections, first used by Texas in 1982 and gradually adopted by every other state with the death penalty, Americans thought they had finally arrived at a perfect solution.

The search for a quiet and humane form of
execution The Court previously upheld the constitutionality of lethal injection in a 2008 decision
But much has changed since then
European suppliers are barred by European Union regulations from selling drugs that will be used in executions
So states have struggled in recent years to find reputable vendors of execution drugs

Last year, in Oklahoma, technicians incorrectly inserted the needle into Clayton Lockett’s groin, missing his vein and releasing the drugs into the surrounding tissue
After being declared unconscious, Lockett began writhing and attempted to sit up
He died of a heart attack 43 minutes after the execution began and seven minutes after rattled officials tried to abort it
In response to incidents like this, attorneys for condemned inmates have launched a new legal attack on lethal injection

What Next?What Next? Concerned that the Supreme Court may
soon declare lethal injection unconstitutional, some states are making back-up plans.
In March, Utah’s governor signed legislation that will bring back the firing squad as the state’s official execution method in the event that injection – the method used by every state that still retains the death penalty – is no longer possible
Utah’s legislation has received a lot of national attention
