Abstract

The article critiques the use of capital punishment, arguing that it is morally flawed, ineffective as a deterrent, and disproportionately applied to marginalized groups. Through a dialogue between a judge and a clerk, it highlights the emotional and societal complexities surrounding the death penalty, ultimately advocating for its abolition in favor of life imprisonment and systemic reforms.
