From the Paper:

"Every year the justice system of the United States through local, state, and federal branches hand down sentences to criminals for various crimes, yet the worst penalty our system has to offer is still capital punishment, referred to in layman's terms as the death penalty. This topic stirs up much debate today, and the fire is only fueled with stories of inmates set free with DNA evidence and controversies involving depression, insanity, and mental retardation making the line blurry on whether a person is competent enough to be held accountable for his/her crime."
