The Death Penalty-

Who- Petitioners Ralph Blaze and Thomas C. Bowling.
What- Filed a suit asserting that the lethal injection protocol violates the Eighth Amendment.
When- April 16, 2008.
Where- Kentucky
Why- They were both sentenced to death

A big concern of the death penalty is not just do the convicted deserve to die, but do the state and federal governments have the right to kill these people. Another con is that racial apartheid, racial bias, and ethnic discrimination affect the result of the death penalty. Your social class also depends on the punishment.
