Prop 34

           

            Proposition 34 is about the death penalty.  If state voters approve of it, it will eliminate the death penalty in California and replace it with life sentences without the possibility of parole. This proposition challenges the morals of people’s belief.  Should the “bad” people be given a chance to live or just be sentenced to death?

            The pro’s of this proposition is that it will create a 100 million dollar fund to be invested to help investigate homicide and sex crimes. It prevents the possibility of executing an innocent person. Some people believe that it is morally wrong. The con’s of this proposition is that it let criminals escape justice. It weakens public safety laws. The criminals get lifetime housing & health benefits. It cost tax payers 100 million dollars for the next 4 years.

            I am not able to vote but if I could, I would vote to say yes on proposition 34. I believe that executing a life is morally wrong. It cost more to execute a person than to house and shelter them. There is always a chance the criminal might be found innocent after they got executed.
