1. This editorial’s central claim is that the death penalty is wrong for Maine. It claims that the state’s
life without parole is the best possible punishment for the worst criminals.
2. A bill proposed by Senator Bill Diamond is coming to Maine that will reinstate the death penalty for child sex offenders. The editorial states that the death penalty does not act as a deterrent of these crimes. The editorial states that child molesters don’t think rationally, therefore won’t be dissuaded by the death penalty. Plus, why should Maine reinstate something that it banned over a century ago?
3. I agree with the editorial. Punishing killing with killing doesn’t solve the problem. Life in prison without parole is the best way to punish horrible crimes. I don’t only think this about Maine, but also about the entire country. The death penalty doesn’t solve anything, and life in prison is the best possible punishment.
Q: Do you agree with this bill or do you think that the death penalty should be reinstated?
