Measure to Repeal Death Penalty Fails by a Single Vote in New Hampshire Senate



Measure to Repeal Death Penalty Fails by a Single Vote in New Hampshire Senate

The Death Penalty has been still been debated in the State of New Hampshire.  It all started in Michael Addison's case. In 2008, Michael Addison was convicted in the shooting death of a Manchester Police officer. People in his case have wanted him to be on his death row. However, legal issues with this court case have been crossing each other.Other States have already abolish the death penalty. House Representatives already approved the repeal 225 to 104. In my opinion the death penalty should be abolished from all states. Even though New England still practices it, U.S States should stay away from that. There are plenty of other varities of things that can be used as a punishment instead of using the death penalty. Hopefully they soon sign the law into place and Ban New Hampshire from using the death penalty and for Michael Addison's case to be reviewed once again.
