you mean:","The Sixth Circuit found that Bass had made a threshold showing based on national statistics that \"the United States charges blacks with a death-eligible offense more than twice as often as it charges whites.\" The U.S. Supreme Court, however, found that Bass had not made a threshold showing for a selective prosecution ...","Evidence from around the world has shown that the death penalty has no unique deterrent effect on crime. ... In 2004 in the USA, the average murder rate for states that used the death penalty was 5.71 per 100,000 of the population as against 4.02 per 100,000 in states that did not use it.","The death penalty disproportionately affects certain groups. The death penalty is not a good example of blind justice. Studies show that the mentally ill, people of color, and the poor make up the majority of death row inmates.","The total annual incremental cost of the death penalty ranges from $96,252,150 to $214,509,120. When all costs are considered, the death penalty costs a state several million dollars per case. However, even when all of these costs are incurred in a trial and appeals process, an execution cannot be assured.","Generally, the decision of the jury must be unanimous in order to sentence the defendant to death. If the jury cannot unanimously agree on a sentence, the judge can declare the jury deadlocked and impose the lesser sentence of life without parole. In some states, a judge can still impose a death sentence.","The most common and most cogent argument against capital punishment is that sooner or later, innocent people will get killed, because of mistakes or flaws in the justice system. Witnesses, (where they are part of the process), prosecutors and jurors can all make mistakes.","Death sentences may only be imposed for crimes in which a victim is killed, but state legislatures can determine what specific circumstances make a murder eligible for a death sentence.","A total of seventeen death row inmates, all men, were executed in the United States in 2020, sixteen by lethal injection and one by electrocution.","Some of the reasons for the high cost of the death penalty are the longer trials and appeals required when a person's life is on the line, the need for more lawyers and experts on both sides of the case, and the relative rarity of executions.","In the Hebrew Bible, Exodus 21:12 states that \u201cwhoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.\u201d In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus, however, rejects the notion of retribution when he says \u201cif anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.\u201d","Among non-Christian faiths, teachings on the death penalty vary. The Reform and Conservative Jewish movements have advocated against the death penalty, while the Orthodox Union has called for a moratorium. Similarly, Buddhism is generally against capital punishment, although there is no official policy.","All sins shall be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost; for Jesus will save all except the sons of perdition. What must a man do to commit the unpardonable sin? He must receive the Holy Ghost, have the heavens opened unto him, and know God, and then sin against him.","According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth, which are contrary to the seven heavenly virtues. These sins are often thought to be abuses or excesses of natural faculties or passions (for example, gluttony abuses the natural hunger for nourishment).","In the pre-Vatican II Catholic catechism, sins were categorized as \"mortal\" and \"venial.\" In this definition, a \"mortal\" sin was one which would prevent someone from entering heaven unless one confessed it before death. ... These categories do not exist in the Orthodox Church. Sin is sin.","All Sin is not the Same Scripture clearly indicates that God does view sin differently and that He proscribed a different punishment for sin depending upon its severity. While God does see sin differently we now have Jesus to forgive us of our sin.","Bible Gateway Matthew 7 :: NIV. \"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.","Not every sin is equal however and some are thought to be more spiritually damning than others. The greatest of the sins described as al-Kaba'ir is the association of others with Allah or Shirk.
