Preview: ... dine was convicted of murder and sentenced to death because of several unfair factors. Calvin Burdine would not have been convicted of murder if he lived in a different region, was represented by a competent attorney, or if he was granted a trial free from prejudice. Although some agree with capital punishment, justice is not served; this racially motivated punishment can lead to the execution of innocent people.         Justice can be defined differently among people; for the purpose of clarity, justice will be defined, in this paper, as the relationship of equality concerning the manner in which people are treated. The justice aspect of capital punishment has been debated throughout history.       From the Civil War until the 1960s many states first abolished then reinstated capital      punishment. But by the 1960s the role of the federal appellate courts had greatly expanded as      they applied the federal Bill of Rights to state criminal proceedings in capital cases, especially              the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment and the requirements for due process      and equal protection of the law. This coincided with an increased public demand for an end to      capital punishment. As a result, capital punishment laws were repealed in several states and      no executions were carried out anywhere in the country from 1968 to 1976.      (Grant, 2005, paragraph 1, 2)   Justice will not prevail when the concept of capital punishment has never, in whole, been agreed upon.       Walter Berns, a resident scholar of the American Scholar Institute and an international public speaker, wrote an article titled Retribution Is a Moral Reason for Capital Punishment ; in this article he argues:      Anger is expressed or manifested on those occasions when someone has acted in a manner      that is thought to be unjust; one of its origins is the opinion that men are responsible, and      should be held responsible, for what they do. Thus, anger is accompanied not only by the pain      caused by the one who is the object of anger, but by the pleasure arising from the expectation      of inflicting revenge on someone who is thought to deserve it.     (Berns, 2004, paragraph 5)   This type of justice is stimulated through revulsion, content solely through absolute retaliation; this makes the punishment rewarding if it is malicious.      Civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. observed: "Returning violence for violence only        multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness      cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do      that.          (CC ...
