Source 1 and Source 2- To murder victims' families,executing killers is justice

Source 2

"To murder victims' families, executing killers is justice"

Summary: A man killed 3 women and is finally caught and they don't know what punishment to give him. The family wants the man to die for the murder of the 3 women (Dawn, Patricia Hurt and Lori Ward). The family explained that it isn't about revenge the death penalty is the law.

The central argument of this article isn't really showed. The author just presented an argument with 2 different sides and distributed them equally.

INOCENCE: "Trial by Fire: Did Texas Execute an Innocent Man?"
Summary: The state now has reason to belive that they executed an innocent man. Cameron Willingham was convicted and given the death penalty for killing his 3 children in a house fire. Cameron had eventually got tired of them saying he was guilty and wanted to avoid the death penalty so he said he did it when in reality he was innocent. After a couple of years Texas Forensic Science Commission reveived a report saying that Willingham was convicted on the basis of unsound testimony.

Central Argument: The state convicted and killed an innocent man.
