0:48

In this brief monologue, Dennis Prager argues that the death penalty serves as a societal signal of the gravity of murder, asserting that the only effective way to convey how terrible an act is, is through the punishment imposed. He claims that abuses of the death penalty are currently rare, distinguishing them from potential abuses elsewhere in the judicial system. Prager further criticizes opponents of the death penalty, suggesting that their continual filing of petitions constitutes the sole abuse related to capital punishment.
