- It prevents people from commiting crimes.
- Society should punish people, not look for revenge.
- There's no other way to stop murderers from murdering again.
- If the state says killing people is wrong, it can't do the same thing itself.
- A murderer should pay for his crime with his own life.
- Innocent people have occasionally been executed.
- Life imprisonmnent is sufficient punishment.

- For that reason...
- I feel this way because...
- That`s why...
