Donald L. Beschle, LLM Biography
- Title:
- Professor of Law at the John Marshall Law School
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should the Death Penalty Be Allowed?"
- Reasoning:
-
“For decades, the death penalty has been one of the most passionately debated topics in American law. Lawyers, social scientists, philosophers, theologians, the mass media, and ordinary citizens have argued over its wisdom and legitimacy. Remarkably, though, when the principal arguments for and against the death penalty are examined closely, they seem inadequate to the task of either justifying the death penalty or proving convincingly that it must be abolished.”
