The article I chose to write up on is
about a disability supporter who are trying to get the death penalty in Georgia
to comply with inmates due to their mental state. They argue that Georgia's
judicial system is the only state who makes these high requirements to prove
disability to escape death. This is important because our judicial system is a
great part of this country and the death penalty is Life or Death. This may
affect a person or family members of an individual who is truly mentally
disabled and put to death. This piece got me interested because I feel that
people can be mentally disabled and through the mistakes that they have made
either due to their disability or otherwise their disabilities are being
overlooked in our judicial system. I argue that there should be more lenient
laws when it comes to mentally disabled inmates because they cannot always
control their actions or emotions and that has to be taken into consideration.
The public would be interested to know how are judicial system in Georgia is
punishing our citizens and affecting the families and friends of these
individuals. I'm not saying that I would set them free, I just don’t feel that
the death penalty is the way to approach this situation when dealing with
mentally challenged inmates. There should be an alternative or something for
the individuals to endure so that can learn from their mistakes just through a
different process.
