Death penalty define as sentencing death to the person who committed heinous crimes. How do I feel about it? I affirm having death penalty as part of our penal system because crime rate in the Philippines , in the world rather is rapidly increasing. Also, God is the proponent of death penalty, kindly search some verses in the Old Testament if you want to validate it. Though I agree with it, I still have my reservations. First, the judicial should be fair and equal to everybody whether rich or poor. Next, innocent lives were at stake. And lastly, clear evidences should be presented and only applicable to the heinous crimes. In addition, death penalty has a deterent effect.
