{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} {{I}} Read the following paragraphs in which
five people talk about the death penalty. For questions 61 to63, match the name
of each speaker (61 to 65 ) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark
your answers on your ANSWER ,SHEET 1.{{/I}} {{B}}Charles
Garfield:{{/B}} Even if the death penalty punishes some while
sparing others, it does not follow that everyone should be spared. The guilty
should still be punished appropriately, even if some do escape proper punishment
unfairly. The death penalty should apply to killers of black people as
well as to killers of whites. High paid, skillful lawyers should not be able to
get some defendants off on technicalities. The existence of some systemic
problems is no reason to abandon the whole death penalty system. {{B}}Clement
Jimmy:{{/B}} With respect to race, studies have repeatedly shown
that a death sentence is far more likely where a white person is murdered than
where a black person is murdered. The death penalty is racially divisive because
it appears to count white lives as more valuable than black lives. Since the
death penalty was restored in 1976,202 black defendants have been executed for
the murder of a white victim, while only 12 white defendants have been executed
for the murder of a black victim. {{B}}Gardner Dolores:{{/B}} It
is not based on any principle when someone in one county or state receives the
death penalty, but someone who commits a comparable crime in another county or
state is given a life sentence. Prosecutors have enormous authority about when
to seek the death penalty anti when to settle for a plea bargain. Often those
who can only afford a minimal defense are selected for the death penalty. Until
race and other arbitrary factors, like economics and geography, can be
eliminated as a determinant of who lives and who dies, the death penalty must
not be used. {{B}}Harley Jerry:{{/B}} Almost all defendants
facing the death penalty are very poor so in most cases they cannot afford their
own attorney. Hence, they are dependent on the quality of the lawyers assigned
by the state, many of whom lack experience in dealing with capital cases or are
so underpaid that they fail to investigate the case properly. A poorly
represented defendant is much more likely to be convicted and given a death
sentence. {{B}}Herbert Leonard:{{/B}} The death penalty alone
imposes an unchangeable sentence. Once a prisoner is executed, nothing can be
done to make improvements if a mistake has been made. There is considerable
evidence that many mistakes have been made in sentencing people to death. Since
1973, at least 121 people have been released from death row after evidence of
their innocence emerged. These statistics represent an intolerable risk of
executing the innocent. {{I}} Now match each of the men (61 to 65
) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra
statements.{{/I}}
{{B}}Statements{{/B}} A. Death penalty should not be used because poor defendant
can not pay a good lawyer. B. Death penalty should not be applied because of
the possibility of a wrong court judgment. C. Death penalty should not be
applied because of civilization. D. Death penalty should not be applied
because racial discrimination still exists. E. Death penalty should not be
used because of lack of objective standards in court judgment. F. Death
penalty should not be abandoned even if problems exist. G. Death penalty
should not be used because of humanity.
