Reflecting on the death penalty (late blog post)

A really important issue I discovered and have really noticed throughout this unit is how unfair the judicial system and the people involved in it are and can be. With studying the death penalty over the past coupe of weeks I've found misrepresentation to be a reoccurring factor many times. Along with that is the unfair advantage money causes throughout the system. Whether a conviction is decided racially or not the system is set up in a way that screws over minority's. And when those people get themselves into trouble or involved with criminal activity, they aren't able to provide themselves with a representative that is capable, educated, and willing to represent them and take on their case. Because these people can not afford to pay someone to help them the state provides them with someone to defend them in court. What I've noticed is that those state appointed defense attorneys have no idea what they are doing or just don't care to do much to help the person they were appointed to defend.
