Why or why not should the death penalty be allowed?
Yes of course! "Killing the criminal will not bring back dead people." Now, I ask, who has ever argued that the death penalty brings back dead people? I've never heard anybody make that argument in my entire life. When anti-death penalty people make this argument, it only shows that they have too little to argue with--that is why they argue against an argument that is never made. The only people I've ever heard the "won't bring the victim back to life" argument from are the death penalty opponents themselves. (More on this below.) "It is wrong to kill people, period." So people like Hitler should have lived? If you see a person killing people he should be allowed to live? You death penalty opponents don't believe this absolute statement, and you need to stop making it. "Having the death penalty cheapens life." No, having the death penalty indicates how highly we value life, and it shows how little we tolerate those who in fact don't value life. "The death penalty is legalized murder." This is where death penalty opponents try to make a legal argument and end up showing that they know nothing about legal arguments. Legal killing is not murder. Murder is a legal term to describe the unlawful taking of life. Get a clue, people: "legalized murder" is a contradiction in terms. "If it's wrong for people to take life, then it's wrong for the state to take life." This argument is so silly it makes me wonder whether the people making it are just plain stupid or hugely dishonest. They don't believe it, anyway. After all, it's wrong for me to steal money from people--so does that mean governments cannot tax? Can governments not impose and collect fines for traffic violations? It's wrong for me to lock somebody up in a room for years, so does that mean governments can't put people in jail? This argument totally ignores the purpose and nature of an action, whether it be by the government or by an individual. How can some people seriously compare cold blooded murder of totally innocent people with the death penalty as applied to somebody who has committed horrible crimes? They are not equivalent acts. "Innocent people might be executed." This is a good point, when it applies to innocent people. Nobody in his right mind believes innocent people should be executed. But when it comes to people who are unquestionably guilty, this argument doesn't apply. "We should not execute people because they might have had a bad childhood." Give me a break! This argument makes such a blanket assumption that it is insulting to people who have had unhappy childhoods but still don't go on killing sprees. "If you really want to punish somebody, use life in prison, because that's harsher than the death penalty." This is supposed to be an argument coming from people who proclaim their compassion? They are proposing what they say is a worse punishment? Death penalty opponents who use this argument show their complete intellectual dishonesty. It's also instructive to note that while death penalty opponents make this argument, they never seem grasp that "imprisonment won't bring people back to life." Or does this mean that the anti-death penalty crowd believes imprisonment will bring the victims back to life? Also, if it's wrong for an individual to kidnap and lock up somebody, isn't it wrong for the government to do it to? (Death penalty opponents never seen to address this argument, although it's very similar to their "if it's wrong to kill, then it's wrong for governments to kill" argument.) "It takes too long and is too expensive to execute somebody after conviction." The people who make this argument are, interestingly, the ones who seek to postpone the execution and make it drag on for years and sometimes decades! And, yet, the same people who make this argument are the same ones who propose as an alternative life imprisonment, along with the costs involved in that. http://dan_pressnell.tripod.com/deathpenalty.htm

Who established the first workable crime lab?
One of the first crime laboratories was established in 1910 in Lyon, France, by Edmond Locard, a physician. Locard helped work out scientific methods to investigate crimes. Alphonse Bertillon, a French statistician, developed a method of identifying persons according to their body measurements. This method, called the Bertillon system, was first used in Paris in 1879 and soon spread throughout the world. See Bertillon system.
Sir William J. Herschel, a British colonial administrator in India during the late 1800's, was probably the first person to devise a workable method of fingerprint identification. Historians credit Sir Francis Galton, a British scientist, with developing Herschel's methods into a modern system of fingerprint identification in the 1880's. By the late 1910's, fingerprinting had replaced the Bertillon system almost entirely as a more accurate method of identification. In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) established a fingerprint file in 1930.
Hans Gross, an Austrian judge, probably invented the word criminalistics. In his book Criminal Investigation(1893), Gross declared that criminalistics was a science that should use a systematic approach to investigate crimes and analyze evidence.
The first U.S. crime laboratory was set up in Los Angeles in 1923. Today, the nation has about 250 crime laboratories. The FBI crime laboratory, organized in 1932, is one of the finest in the world (see Federal Bureau of Investigation). FBI experts examine about 900,000 pieces of evidence yearly. Some crime laboratories examine only one type of evidence. For example, the U.S. Postal Inspector's Department Laboratory examines documents associated with such crimes as mail theft and forgery of money order

Who made it a crime to teach enslaved people to read or write?
Education is empowerment. A slave who could read, might not only question the right of his owners to consider him property, but he might use those existing laws against that owner. And what about the declaration that "All men are created equal" An educated slave would have been far too much trouble in those days.

You would know because of the signs they show in early life such as the remorseless murder of animals and also you would know because serial killers have absolutely no sense of sympathy and they find killing anything deeply satisfying within themselves.

Why would an arrest warrant remain sealed?
An arrest warrant might remain sealed if it mentions several names. If the police only know how to find one of the people mentioned they do not want to arrest him and let the rest disappear. They want to wait until they can arrest the entire group. When they know where they can get all the members of the group, they unseal the warrant and arrest the entire group.
