There is also tremendous body of research illustrating disparities in sentencing when comparing the affluent to indigent accused.

Why are the capital punishment and life imprisonment equally immoral?

Both capital punishment and life imprisonment can be considered immoral for several reasons. Firstly, they deprive individuals of their basic human rights, including the right to life and liberty. Secondly, there is a risk of executing or imprisoning innocent people, which cannot be rectified if new evidence emerges after their punishment. Lastly, these punishments can be seen as revenge rather than rehabilitation, perpetuating a cycle of violence and failing to address the root causes of crime.
