Should the death penalty be abolished in all states? What a question! I have lost a loved one to murder and I am 100% against the death penalty under any circumstances, not only in the US, but all around the world. I have been a volunteer with Amnesty International for over thirty years, specializing in cases involving the death penalty. In my opinion, the death penalty is government run murder. I have lost many loved ones through illness and accidents but nothing compares to the grief of a murder. Instead of feeling angry of full of hate, I chose to honour the memory of my beloved David, along with his family, but setting up a scholarship fund in his name, (he was a professor of visual arts at the University of Toronto), and we are also planning a show of his paintings. Though my friend's murderer has not been found, a 'cold case', I forgive his murderer and feel nothing but compassion for him. I do not remember who said it but "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".
