reflection

I handed this in late but i think i did pretty good on it. I worked on it everyday but when i logged in i felt like i couldn't do this. I also didn't couldn't make up my mind about which genres to use. I just picked the ones that where the easiest to do then when i picked the first easiest I asked Mrs. Sackstein for help. I think this project is harder then i had thought it was going to be. I handed it late because i always got stuck and i am thankful that Mrs. Sackstein helped me.

Then I found an video about a little girl getting raped by her step-father, 3rd I did my game a true or flase game containing the facts I gave in my genres. 4th i did my descrtive paragraph, 5th I did what they do before the prisoner dies, 6th i did what they use 7th i had a interview with a cop about the zodiac killer. After the zodiac killer interview i the menaing of the 8th amendment, last i did my poem

Poem

The death penalty
Sad
Killing people
Injection
Hanging
Firing squad
Hurting people
Needing to testify
Bail
In trail
Giving money
Only 24 hours
to live
Family visiting
witnesses
coming
People are crying
Guards are
Yelling
Getting tied to
A table
Knowing
That you
Are going to
Die
They pick the first
injection
They feel the
pain that runs through
Their body
when they stick the
needle into
Them
Soon they can't
speak
or
move
And they are
dead

Reflection- I felt that I should use what they do in the injection chamber and also how they use it. The information I used to do this poem is the information that i used for the other posts. This poem should help people know not to kill because if you do then you will go through this pain and it is not fun!

meaning of the 8th amendment

The meaning of the 8th amendment protects people. The 8th amendment states excessive bail or fines, as well as cruel and unusual punishment. The bail part is the money/property that the person needs to give to the judge that will promise that the accused will return for their trial and if the person doesn't go to their trail they lose their bail. The bail also helps the person to prepare for the trial but when the person prepare he/she prepare in jail. The no cruel and unusual punishments is in the 8th amendment because they use to get a horse to pull the person until they are in 4 pieces, strangled, burned, branded, disemboweled (their guts cut out), or had their hands cut off or sat in stocks so that others could make fun of them and throw things at them. In 1976 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was constitutional, and since 1976 there have been 628 inmates executed.

How the lethal injection works

They use three injections. First it's an anesthetic, sodium thiopental, it is a fast barbiturate that depresses the activity of the central nervous system. This injection unconsciousness the person and the injection is so strong that the pain is undetectable. The injection can reach the brain in 30 seconds for the person to go unconsciousness. After the sodium thiopental the exautor injects pancuronium bromide, this is for blocking the neuromuscular it also prevents the nerve messenger (acetylcholine) from communicating with his/her muscles. At the end the muscles are paralyzed. The last injection they use is the potassium chloride. This is the last dosage of the chemicals, the heart charges particles that interrupt its electrical signaling. It stops it from beating. The average time from the first injection to death is 8.4 minutes.

Lethal Injection (before they use it)

For the persons last 24 hours they get visitation rights. Their friends, families, attorneys, and many other people are allowed to visit them. They visit them in the dead watch or a visitation area. The last few hours of their lives they start the preparations. They do not do this in every state that has the lethal injection. First they give them their last meal of their chose, then they get a warden visit and chaplain visit, then witness arrive for the injection, the witness have to go to the restricted witness room adjacent to the execution chamber, and are instructed to stay quite. They connect the heart monitor to an electrocardiogram machine, it tells when the person's heart had stopped. As soon as the prisoner is dressed he/she waits in the death watch with a spiritual advisor until the warden tells someone to bring the prison to the execution chamber, they get brought a couple of minutes before the scheduled execution. The witnesses are relatives of the victims, relatives of the prisoner prison warden, medical personnel, spiritual prison guards, official group of "reputable citizens", Official group of state-selected witnesses, and Media representatives.

descriptive paragraph

35 years sgo the supreme court had removed state death penalty laws because the punishment was not being decided by the law and without restriction, however states had rewrote the laws and the executions stayed for on;ly a few years, but not still not deciding on the law as they had in the year 1972. Harris county jury has sent more people to the death chamber than any other state (they had sent 100 people).

News article

Today for breaking news a stepfather rapes his 8 year old step- daughter. Today the police was informed of a rapist raping an 8 year old. Patrick O' Kennedy had called the cops to inform them of his step daughter being raped, but he claims two boys from his suburban New Orleans neighborhood had raped her then he says that they fled on bicycles. It was a tragic time for Patrick O' Kennedy. The police had informed us that they suspect that Patrick O' Kennedy had done the crime. The little girl had need surgery for the damaged. At the trail she had been brought to the stands and testified that Patrick O' Kennedy did do the crime and that he had trained her to lie to the police, and we just heard that Kennedy had called the carpet cleaner before he called the cops so that they can clean up the blood stains. His crime was a heinous so he was sentnced to the death penalty, and if he is put to death it will be the first time in nearly 31 years that the death penalty has been used for a nonhomicide offense.

Quote by patrick henry

"When we come to punishments, no latitude ought to be left, nor dependence put, on the virtue of representatives... in this business of legislation, your members of congress will loose the restriction of not imposing the excessive fines, demanding excessive bail, and inflicting cruel and unusual punishment."
-by: Patrick Henry

This quote means that people will have a fair trail before the decsion of the death is decide and that if you get a speeding ticket or you steal something you will not get sentnce to death because it would be unfair and it would be an unusal punshiment for stealing or a speeding ticket. So the 8th admentment protects the public people.
