    There are many pros and cons to capital Punishment, there is really no clear answer to whether or not it should be allowed in the United States. Both sides have valid arguments, in the paragraphs below I will be discussion all the reasons why we should have the death sentence, followed by the reasons why we shouldn’t have it, then I will compare the two sides finally I will give my opinion on the subject. This subject is very unclear, there is allot of misguiding information from both sides which makes it hard to have a solid opinion. Both sides have convincing arguments and both sides are able to prove the other wrong on different facts.

            There are many reasons to support the death sentence, for one once a convicted murderer is executed, there is no chance that he or she could ever brake out of prison and kill or hurt again(Sellin, religioustollerence.org). That is probable one of the best reasons to support the death sentence because the family of the victim and the rest of society can finally relax knowing that there is no way that, that individual can get back into society.

Cost is also an issue because keeping these individuals alive cost money, for one you have to feed them everyday, you also have to pay guards to watch them and provide them with a cell. If the person would just be executed it would save a lot of man time and money. Keeping these people alive can contribute to overcrowding because that individual will be spending the rest of there life in jail, which could be many years from now so that is one less bed that could be used to rehabilitate someone. It can also contribute to violence because these prisoners have nothing to loose because they already know that they will be spending the rest of there lives in jail anyways. Another good reason to have the death penalty is the fact that killing a convicted murderer will satisfy t he families needs for revenge, without that some people may not be able to live in peace knowing that there family member is dead while there killer gets to live out the remainder of his or her life.

            An accessory to a crime is one who aids in the commission of a crime without being a present when the crime is being committed. In other words, a partner in crime. An accessory before the fact is someone who counsels or leads someone else to commit a crime. They are the instigators is some cases. In other cases, they are a big part of the operation, but are not at the scene of the crime when it occurs.

            In some states the before the fact accessory has been abolished and the person who is the accessory in the crime will be punished as the principal, or the one who is present at and participates in the crime charged or who procures an innocent agent to commit the crime. These type of acts are not taken lightly. If you are part of a crime, it does not matter if you are present at the time the crime is committed, or in Hawaii sipping pina coladas sending someone information through a computer. If you are involved in the crime, you will receive the same sentence.

            In my mind, it really doesn’t matter where you are when the crime occurs, if you are part of it you should receive the same punishment as the person who was at the scene of the crime. No leeway should be given in those situations. If you have the guts to commit a crime, then face the consequences.

            People actually try to beat to the cases and say they should get less of a sentence. Yet the courts do not see past that. They give the rightful punishments and make sure the criminals know that whether you are there or not, you will be prosecuted for the crime committed. And that applies to everyone who is has the guts to break the law.

As we have seen, positive antisocial adds anticipation and excitement to life, and under a certain amount of antisocial. Deadlines, competition, confrontations as frustrations and sorrow add depth and enrichment to our lives. Our goal is antisocial but to learn how to manage it and how to manage it and how to use it to help us. Insufficient may leave us feeling “tied up knots” what we need to do is find the optima which will individually motivate but not overwhelm each of us. There is no single level of antisocial that is optimal for all people.
 

            The person who loves to arbitrate disputes and moves from job site to job sit antisocial in a job witch was stable and routine, whereas the person who conditions would very likely be antisocial on a job where duties were highly varies personal antisocial requirements and the amount witch we can tolerate before with diagnostic changes with our ages.
 

            It has been found that most illness is related to unrelieved antisocial. If you are antisocial systems, you gone beyond your optimal antisocial level you need in your life and or improve your ability to manage it.
 

            How can I manage antisocial better identifying unrelieved antisocial and being aware of its effect on our lives is not reducing its harmful effects. Jus as there are many sources of antisocial there possibilities for its management. However, all require work toward change source of antisocial and or changing your reaction

 The burden of proof in criminal courts and civil courts are two totally different things. In criminal court, the prosecution seeks punishment like incarceration of the defendant, or even death. In the other hand, civil courts are equally powerful in a way but they seek a different type of punishment. Since they deal with private matters, they are more likely to settle things monetarily. Although they might work differently, they seek the same goal. The goal is to punish those who do civil and criminal wrongs to society.

            Criminal courts are a huge part of the court system in the U.S. They work with all those citizens who violate the law. The prosecutors who are in charge of proving that the defendant is guilty, have to make sure that the evidence supporting the case is enough to prove it beyond reasonable doubt. Meanwhile the defendant’s lawyer has to find any leak available to prove the prosecutors wrong. If by any chance the prosecutors can’t prove the defendant’s guilt beyond the reasonable doubt, the defendant will be free to go.

            Civil courts may have many similarities, but it  works differently. As I explained before, civil courts seek monetary compensation while criminal courts seek incarceration or death. For this reason, the burden of proof in civil is less than in criminal courts. In civil courts you only have to prove that the individual was more likely to commit the act than not. If you actually were allowed to put numbers to the burden of proofs it would look something like 50.001% for civil courts and from 73% to 93% for criminal courts. This makes it obvious how different criminal courts and civil courts really are.

Burden of Proof is the onus of producing evidence and also of persuading the jury with the required level of proof.  It is basically an obligation to prove that the allegations which were presented are true and have enough facts to do so.  There is a big difference between the criminal and civil burdens of proof. With the differences between criminal burden of proof and civil burden of proof, they still have their similarities; both must supply sufficient evidence to win the case.

In criminal cases, the burden of proof is often on the prosecutor.  The prosecution has to provide enough factual evidence of the defendant’s guilt and persuade the jury that the evidence presented establishes the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.   Beyond a Reasonable Doubt is defined as “any doubt which would make a reasonable person hesitate in the most important of his or her affairs.”  Beyond a Reasonable Doubt is very important, because the defendant has so much to loose through criminal punishment. For example if the defendant is charged with murder, the prosecutor bears the burden of proof to show the jury that the defendant did murder someone.  Witnesses, autopsy reports, no alibis, etc is some of the evidence that has to be shown to prove the defendant did in fact murder someone.  If the prosecutor fails to do so then they have failed to meet the burden.

In civil law cases, the burden rests with the plaintiff (the party bringing the action).  The plaintiff must prove whatever allegations he included in his complaint in order to win his case.  Burden of proof only requires more likely than not or more than fifty percent believable evidence for it to favor the plaintiff’s.
