Phase IP Please be thorough and concise with detailed answer.
Deliverable Length:
800–1,200 words
After completing a thorough investigation into the robbery and
serving your search warrant, both of your suspects were found
guilty at trial. The next step of the Criminal Justice System (the
sentencing phase) will begin. Because victim Roberts was shot
in the head and killed, the State is seeking the death penalty for
Steve Chapman. He has an extensive violent criminal history
(convicted felon), and shows no remorse for victim Roberts or
his family.
As the lead detective, you have completed your investigation
into the robbery and homicide. You have served the search
warrant and found all of the evidence that you were looking for.
You and your team have collected all of the evidence and
interviewed witnesses, the victim, and the suspects.
Because of your hard work in this case, the State's Attorney has
asked for your thoughts on the method of punishment for Steve
Chapman. Compose a professional quality email to the State’s
Attorney detailing your thoughts on the following:
Is the death penalty a just sentence for this crime? Explain your
answer.
What alternative punishments might be appropriate (if any)?
Does the death penalty deter others from committing similar
crimes?
