Murder or Justice?

As I began my research on the death penalty many issues emerged including; the race of the victim and defendant, whether or not to consider it murder, and what type of execution should be allowed if any. An article that stood out to me was an article written by "Death Penalty Information Center." The article written by many experts in the field of law suggests that for several cases the race of the victim and defendant matter. For example, studies in other states have shown that the death sentence were 2.6 times higher for killing a white person than black. Making it 97% higher for blacks to be charged with the death sentence in first degree murder. This suggests that the fact of race still an issue today affects the sentencing of a lot of African American individuals. Also, it suggests that many people would consider this murder. A large percentage of Americans think that killing someone is no justice at all. Posing an issue for the rights of both parties (agreeing and disagreeing.) Last, an argument that some of the methods used for killing people are inhumane. That if any execution should be allowed it should not be of great extremes. The question to ask here is what are we to do with those who murder and not make it a race issue or take it to great extremes? Can something be done to compromise on both parties?
