This site provides me with information about all offenders on death row in Texas. If you will go through a few of the offenders, you can see that all of them were murderers. They either killed their children, strangers, co-workers, spouses, and bartenders. All of these people took someones lives. I believe they should receive the same curtousy they gave to their victims. The pictures above are just a few examples of people on death row and what they did to receive capital punishment. It is overwhelming to see how many people are actually on death row in Texas alone, yet it is somewhat relieving. The chart on the website will provide you with the offenders name, birthdate, gender, date of offense, the offense, and the date they were given the death penalty. I will use this information to show that people who are given the death penalty are the ones who truly deserve it, murderers.
