Currently, there are three partial defenses, diminished responsibility, provocation, and killing in pursuance of a suicide pact, for murder created under the Homicide Ordinance. If any one of the three defenses can be successfully pleaded, the accused can reduce his charge from murder to voluntary manslaughter. It is important to have a clear dividing line between murder and manslaughter because they have very different sentencing structure. While person convicted of murder will receive a mandatory life sentencing, a person found liable for manslaughter will receive a punishment of imprisonment up to life and imposed fines at the court’s discretion.
The United States is one of the countries that still uses the death penalty as a form of punishment. The definition of capital punishment is “ the killing of a person via judicial process for retribution or incapacitaion” when a person commits a capital offense that could result in the death penatly. Using the death penalty as a deterrent shows a criminal that if you kill someone then you will be put to death for taking that person’s life and it couold make a person think twice before committing a murder. When a person is sentenced to death they are being punished for a very severe crime and they are dealt with in a manner that is not violent like most murders are committed and now in this day and age it is done humanely and they feel no pain like they did in the electric chair or when they were hanged. They are now given drugs that put them to sleep and they do not suffer like there victims.
This is costing the tax payers twenty- nine million dollars over a twenty year period (Death Penalty Information Center). There is also the cost of the many appeals process that the inmate now goes through to try to overturn their conviction. This also cost the tax payers absorb anent amount of money. Now there is the issue of the inmates that are sitting with a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. This is costing the tax payers the same amount of money.
