commuted to life in prison
- This would all depend on what religion is in question

Christianity

- With that said, Christians believe in redemption and forgiveness.

became a model prisoner

Christianity
- This would all depend on what religion is in question
- What are strengths

- Body 3
- Do I agree or disagree with the ethical views
- I agree with both of the view as to how they would view the
issue
- Deontologist I think would not want the sentence commuted
- While I see how the religious communities that follow command theory of ethics would believe the sentence should have been changed
- I agree with both of the view as to how they would view the
issue
- What is your opinion on the issue
- I agree that the sentence should have been changed to life in
prison as opposed to death
- The person that committed the murder was sentenced to life in prison
- Makes little sense that the person that made the plan, gets a harsher punishment
- If a person is able to find redemption through religion of other means and work toward the betterment of others there is no reason for that person to be killed
- I agree that the sentence should have been changed to life in
prison as opposed to death
- Do I agree or disagree with the ethical views
- Conclusion
- How can we determine if someone has changed to be a betterment
for society?
- Is this simply base on someone finding religion or can people change by other means
- Can evil deeds be overlooked because we find our faith
- To what degree of evil can a person go before there is no coming back
- How are crimes judged to determine the sentencing
- Our judicial system need to get better
- With the betterment of technology and training methods for judicial action we can come to more adequate punishments for crimes.
- How can we determine if someone has changed to be a betterment
for society?
