For this assignment, consider Ethical Dilemma 1. Redemption and Capital Punishment, p. 677. After reading about Stanley Tookie Williams here, you may watch the movie “Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story.” I found it on YouTube here:
Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story
There are several short entries at NPR.org that you can listen to here:
The Execution of Stanley Tookie Williams: NPR
For your reflection log assignment, answer the questions on p. 677 in at least a full paragraph:
Should Williams’ sentence have been commuted to life in prison? Why or why not? Is redemption compatible with justice? If a murderer mends his ways, should this change have an effect on his punishment? Is mercy compatible with justice?
The post Should this change have an effect on his punishment? appeared first on Assignment Prep.
