Reflection on Justice and Capital P Grand Canyon University: PHI-307 In the case of murder and our criminal justice I honestly found myself somewhere between the viewpoints of retentionists and abolitionists perspectives, œmeaning that if I take the bible principle of capital punishment literally today as a procedural abolitionist then our reading assignment would be correct in that no one would be guilty of a capital crime because the bible says that you would need two eyewitnesses before the death sentence could be passed, one the other hand we have fingerprint, scientific testing, and DNA analysts today which were not known during the ancient times. The retentionists in me would want justice against those who knowingly took innocent life"Scott B. Rae. This reading assignment hit very close to home because when I was reminded of the story of the mass murderer Timothy McVeigh who bombed Oklahoma City federal building.
