I desegree with the Death Penalty. My first reason is because the death penalty cost too much money. My second is because innocent people could die. My third reason is because they wont stop. These are the reasons why i am against death penalty.
My first reason why I am against death penalty is that it costs alot of money. The death penalty system cost $137 million per year in California. The life time incarceration would be $11.5 million per year. If California wouldnt have the deaht penalty California could save $1 billion over five years by replacing the death penalty with permanent imprisonment. California hasnt executed anyone since 2006 and they have 700 immates on death row. It cost about $2 million per case. California spends $90 Million and beyond the ordinary costs of the justice system on capital cases. $78 million of that total is incurred at the trial level. California Governor Gray Davis proposed building a new $220 million state of the death row. iGot the information from deathpenalty.org and ktla.com. All the money that they are waisting to put people on death row, they could save it for any other services. The Government has to pay for school's & other services. They just put guilty & innocent people on death row and waist about $2 million per case! It is better to save up the money for more important stuff that people need and that is usefull. [I'M GLAD THAT YOU TOLD ME WHERE YOU GOT THE INFORMATION, HOWEVER YOU DIDN'T WRITE QUOTES AREOUND THE PARTS THAT YOU TOOK " ". YOU HAVE TO DO THIS... YOU ALSO HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE THINGS IN YOUR OWN WORDS]
My Second reason is because that the person who they are accusing a suspect who was there once the victim was killed. And sometimes they kill the inconnent person. The defendant Carlos DeLuna was executed for the fatal stabbing of Texas convenience store clerk Wanda Lopez in 1983. DeLuna's guilt points to another man. His name is Carlos Hernandez had a record of similar crimes and it confessed to the murder. Carlos DeLuna was killed for Carlos Hernandez crime. Carlos DeLuna was executed in 1989. [SAME HERE]
My third reason is because even if they kill the muder that will not bring back the victum. So instead of waisting $2million on one case that t These are the reasons why I diagree with the death penalty. First it cost way to much in any state in California it cost $137 million per year, califrona sepents 90 million every year and they waist . Second some inocent people get put to death for a murder they did not commite last year 17 men that were imates were innocent on death row 115 people have been released on death row since 1973. My third reason is because they kill the muder but when they do it wont bring the victum back to life. So they actually wasted $20 million. These are my three reasons why I say that the death penalty shouldn't be in any states.

REVISE:
I disagree with the Death Penalty. My first reason is because the death penalty cost too much money. My second is because innocent people could die. My third reason is because they won’t stop. These are the reasons why I am against death penalty.
My first reason why I am against Death Penalty is that it costs a lot of money. The death penalty system cost $137 million per year in California. The life time incarceration would be $11.5 million per year. If California wouldn’t have the death penalty California could save $1 billion over five years by replacing the death penalty with permanent imprisonment. California hasn’t executed anyone since 2006 and they have 700 inmates on death row. It cost about $2 million per case. California spends $90 Million and beyond the ordinary costs of the justice system on capital cases. $78 million of that total is incurred at the trial level.

His name is Carlos Hernandez had a record of similar crimes and it confessed to the murder. Carlos DeLuna was killed for Carlos Hernandez crime. Carlos DeLuna was executed in 1989.

My third reason why I am against Death Penalty is because anyone can be a suspect and the ones who execute them will just give the death penalty to anyone who was around the time in the victim’s murder. For example Rebecca a female was shot. And the suspect was Gosch and the bullets he had shot her with were made by Eley Ammunition Company. Finger prints were found that it weren’t from people who lived there. A Guy named Stephen had information of who killed Rebecca. There was a brief case with a gun 2 silencers which had fit the weapon for the case. Gosch had owned a .22 caliber pistol a year before, Gosch entered the Patton household and shot Mrs.Patton.

These are the reasons why I diagree with the death penalty. First it cost way to much in any state in California it cost $137 million per year, califrona sepents 90 million every year and they waist . Second some inocent people get put to death for a murder they did not commite last year 17 men that were imates were innocent on death row 115 people have been released on death row since 1973.

What I would like to accomplish in high school is to pass 9, 10, 11, and 12 grades and graduate 12 grades. I would also like to get my grades higher in all my class subjects and pass the regions test. And also to do all my homework and projects. This is what I would like to accomplish in high school.

The subjects that I would be interested once I get in high school are Math. I would be interested in Math because I know I’m good at Math and I could understand it very well. My second subject that I would be interested in will be Science. I would be interested in Science because I want to get better on Science and understand it because I never actually understand it and I had trouble with it. My Third Subject I would be interested is Art. I would be interested in Art because I like to create and express my emotions into art like I did in 7th grade. Art for me is subject that is fun and you can create any type of sculpture you want. These are the subjects that I would be interested in high school Math, Science, and Art.

My goals for high school are to pass all of my major subjects. I want to pass my major subjects because I don’t want to fail the marking periods again just like I did in 8th grade. My second goal for high school is to do all my homework that I’m given and complete all of the classwork I’m given. Also to hand in all projects completed and on time. My third goal for high school is to never come late to school because it will affect weather you pass each grade or not. My fourth goal is to focus on myself only. This goal is the most important to me because I had been too focused on my friends and my grades got affected to me.

I am going to achieve all my goals by handing in and completed all of my homework, classwork, and projects on time so I can get good credit for it. I am also going to achieve my goals by focusing on importing stuff on what I want to do in the future. I am also going to achieve it by going to school on times and getting to all my classes on time. I can also attend an after school program so I can get extra help if I need it and attend groups in the morning. I am going to achieve my goal of passing the regents by studying extra hard so I can pass them and when I am in high school I will attend programs after school to get extra help so I can pass the regents. This is how I will achieve my goals for high school is to pass 9, 10, 11, and 12 grades and graduate 12 grades. I would also like to get my grades higher in all my class subjects and pass the regions test. And also to do all my homework and projects.
