DISCUSSION/ANALYSISIntroduction: Throughout this discussion, I will discuss and analyze the ideas I have gathered during my research. My discussion is divided into subheadings that will give me a better understanding of how capital punishment is viewed, which will help me find a possible answer to my question. First, I will discuss two very well-known case studies. Case Studies: The two case studies I have chosen to focus my research on are: Derek Bentley, the last man executed in Britain, as well as Ruth Ellis, the last woman executed in Britain. Both of these executions were carried out by a man named Albert Pierrepoint. These two case studies both contain an interesting story that I will share with you using the sources I have collected. Ruth Ellis Case Study: I ​​put together some research from a book called A VERY ENGLISH HANGMAN. First, I'll provide some background information. Ruth's entire case evolved very quickly as she was executed thirteen weeks after shooting her lover four times. Ellis' case focuses on some interesting words Ruth said after committing her crime: "When I put the gun in my bag, I intended to find David and shoot him." She was put to death for this because at the time the law made premeditated murder a crime punishable by death and no leniency was allowed. Ellis was a victim of domestic violence which led to the tragic miscarriage of her unborn child; this is what leads Ellis to fight back and shoot his lover. Derek Bentley Case Study: Second, I will present some background information on the case of Derek Bentley. Derek Bentley's case consists of four very ambiguous words "Leave it to him" which were exclaimed...... middle of paper ...... life imprisonment is actually compared to resorting to punishment of death. Jack Vain admitted to feeling a lot of remorse and he knows that his victims did not deserve the things that unfortunately happened to them. During the TW&E: Life in Prison podcast, Marvin Olasky interviews another prisoner who is currently serving a life sentence. prison. This case study that I briefly researched was a man named Jesus Suttles, 66 years old. He was convicted of murdering his common-law partner in 2002. He says prison saved his life because he has not been able to drink since his incarceration. He pretends to be an unhappy person but he looks at his terrible situation in a positive way, telling himself that at least he is still alive. This makes me understand that life imprisonment should definitively replace the use of the death penalty in all countries...
