... Even when the responsible guilty party is sentenced to death there are issues at hand. In the middle of these two extremes is where a great debate rages; can the death penalty ever be justified? ... Koch, a strong Democrat and ex-mayor of New York, believes that the death penalty can be justified. Bruck, a Harvard graduate and lawyer who is devoted to defending people faced with the death sentence, writes his essay in response to Koch’s and believes that the death penalty can never be justified. ... His essay is strongly in favor of the death penalty and he believes that the death penalty can be justified because it “affirms the fact the life is precious.” He believes that potential murderers will think twice about killing when they know they could be face with the death penalty. ... He defends his argument by looking at the most common arguments against the death penalty and doing his best to rebut them. The first argument he refutes is the idea that “the death penalty is barbaric”. Koch says that the death penalty has become painless, and is not as barbaric as most people make it out to be.
