- Title
- Vengeance or Deterrence; 2001
- Description
- Bob Wimer begins his presentation with this goal: “I hope to show you tonight why the death penalty is not a deterrent to murder and why it should be abandoned in favor of the far more humane – but harsher-true life sentence without parole.” Wimer counters one “myth” after another that supports the use of the death penalty – a punishment not used by any European country at the time of his presentation.
