There is no legal murder, except execution. Killing a person is a horrible crime, but execution is legal revenge by the criminal justice system. According to traditional thinking, a murderer who has committed a heinous and unforgivable crime should be punished by taking his life. Recently, the legal action, capital punishment, has become a controversial topic and is absolutely a profound topic worthy of reflection. Capital punishment (the so-called death penalty), according to the Longman Dictionary, is the legal punishment that involves killing someone who has committed a crime (ldoceonline.com). The authorities are able to kill a criminal who has violated the law, mostly murder. A controversial question emerges from people's minds: should we allow the death penalty?

The execution became revenge. This is the same thing that people say: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" (ldoceonline.com).

They face higher costs for murder, but those (whites) who kill them (African Americans) are given a discount on murder. Consequently, a moral problem, the lives of African Americans are not worthy of those of other Americans, involves inequalities of freedom and inequalities of opportunities and expectations. The racism of the United States criminal justice system, more or less, impacts the African American community (Cholbi).
