Death penalty as punishment for a crime

Give to help Chris continue making Truce In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the United States went years without using the death penalty. Not a single person was killed by injection, firing squad, hanging, or electric chair. But by the late 90s, we were killing around 100 convicted criminals per year. What happened? In 1972, the Supreme Court handed down its decision Furman v. Georgia, which negated state capital punishment laws across the country. This meant that some of the worst criminals in the country were suddenly given new sentences. And Americans... lost their minds. Within just a few years, new laws were written, and the Court decided to approve many of them. The death penalty long had a prejudiced bent, disproportionately killing people of color. The NAACP worked hard to end the practice, but those efforts were soon undone as American opinions toward the death penalty abruptly changed.

In this episode of the Crack House Chronicles Donnie and Dale tell the story of Colleen Slemmer and her murder by Christa Pike. Christa Pike was 18-years-old when she thought her 19-year-old job corps classmate, Colleen Slemmer, was trying to steal her boyfriend, Tadaryl Shipp. Pike spent over 30-minutes beating Colleen with her hands and feet, as well as a box cutter and a meat cleaver. Colleen tried to escape. Shipp caught her so Pike could continue the beating. Pike carved a pentagram into her chest, used the box cutter to slice her throat. When she didn't die, Pike picked up a chunk of asphalt and slammed it onto her head. The next day Pike brought a piece of Colleen's skull to breakfast and told classmates what she had done. https://www.crackhousechronicles.com/ https://linktr.ee/crackhousechronicles https://www.tiktok.com/@crackhousechronicles https://www.facebook.com/crackhousechronicles Check out our MERCH! https://www.teepublic.com/user/crackhousechronicles SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christa_Pike https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/tennessees-execution-of-christa-pike-would-make-her-the-first-woman-to-be-executed-in-the-state-in-over-200-years https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/unforbiddentruth/episodes/Interview-with-Christa-Pike-Part-II-ekpc39 https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/unforbiddentruth/episodes/Interview-with-Christa-Pike-Part-I-ekm9b5

Allie Beth Stuckey has never been afraid to speak truth in a world that often rewards silence. In this conversation, we talked about faith, conviction, and what it means to stand firm when culture pushes you to conform. Allie opened up about her journey into broadcasting, how motherhood reshaped her worldview, and why she believes women today are desperate for truth, not validation. We also talked about the cost of conviction, how to disagree without dehumanizing, and why faith must come before fear, especially in media and leadership. We discussed the state of Christianity in America, the pressure many young people face to compromise, and how social media has changed the way we share and live out our beliefs. Allie's perspective is strong but full of grace, rooted in both intellect and compassion. This conversation was about more than faith or influence. It was about courage, clarity, and holding fast to what is true even when it is unpopular.

A musician was sentenced to death for blasphemy under Sharia law in Nigeria, highlighting the tension between brutal religious courts and the nation's protective secular constitution. The Supreme Court intervened, recognizing that rapid sentencing by the local Sharia court often seeks to bypass constitutional protections before citizens can exercise their rights. This case exemplifies the political volatility of upholding modern secular law against entrenched traditional religious demands, where theological disagreements can result in capital punishment.News Source:Nigeria's Supreme Court allows late appeal in Kano blasphemy caseBy Camillus Ebo for ReutersSeptember 25, 2025
Rejecting calls for mercy from opponents of the death penalty, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe announced Monday that Lance Shockley's execution will be carried out as planned at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

This episode is not for comfort. It's not a pep talk. Today, we're stepping onto the most controversial ground yet: the death penalty.In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the world screams for vengeance. Politicians demand execution. The mob cries for blood. But as followers of Christ, we don't answer to the mob—we answer to the Word of God. And the Word is clear: if you call yourself pro-life, you cannot be pro-death penalty.This episode dismantles the cultural and even Christian arguments for capital punishment, exposing it as a barbaric counterfeit for true, biblical justice. We're called to a higher standard—one that chooses mercy when the world demands retribution.When the crowd shouts, “Crucify him!” will you join the chant? Or will you echo the heart of the One who said, “Father, forgive them”?Buckle up. This one's raw, uncomfortable, and rooted in the radical mercy of Jesus Christ."For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment." – James 2:13Episode Highlights:18:22 - What kind of people are we becoming when we endorse the death penalty? We say we're pro-life, but are we really? We march for unborn children, but cheer when the state straps someone to a gurney. We post Bible verses about forgiveness, but applaud when the needle slides in. We claim to follow the Prince of Peace, but align ourselves with systems of death. We can't have it both ways. Either life is sacred or it isn't.29:12 -Jesus was executed by the state. He was the victim of a corrupt trial, a bloodthirsty crowd, and a merciless governor... And what did he say as the nails were driven into his wrists? According to Luke chapter 23, verse 34, he said this, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." If Jesus prayed for the forgiveness of his executioners, how can we cheer for the execution of others?57:55 - So here's the call for all of us, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we must reject the death penalty. Not because it's politically trendy, not because it makes us look compassionate, but because it's a gospel imperative. To follow Christ is to lay down vengeance. To bear the cross is to refuse to pick up the sword. To proclaim the sanctity of life is to defend it consistently, without exception. That means when politicians demand executions, we must say no. When the mob cries for blood, we must say no.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

The proposal to tax the ultra-rich that could address some of France's budget woes. The last paperboy in Paris, who has been hawking newspapers for nearly 50 years, tells of challenges and successes from Pakistan to Paris. And the man who ended the death penalty in France enters the Panthéon. As French politicians remain deeply divided over how to address the country's growing deficit, one measure appears to unite public opinion across the political spectrum: the Zucman tax. Devised by 38-year-old economist Gabriel Zucman, the idea is to add a two percent tax on the ultra-rich, who often use holding companies to shield their wealth from income taxes. While the left sees it as fiscal justice, many on the right are concerned about additional taxes in a country that already has a lot, and maintain taxing the wealthiest will drive them abroad. (Listen @2') Ali Akbar left his native Pakistan aged 18, looking to make enough money to buy his mother a decent home. Since arriving in France in 1973, he's managed to do just that – selling newspapers like Le Monde on the streets of Paris's Left Bank district. A popular figure in the neighbourhood, Akbar – the capital's last remaining hawker – was recently selected for the National Order of Merit by President Emmanuel Macron, a former customer. He talks about loving his work, the collapse of the newspaper culture and how recognition by France will help to "heal" the injuries of his past. (Listen @18'30'') France abolished the death penalty on 9 October 1981. Forty-four years later, the justice minister who fought to change the law, Robert Badinter, is entering the Pantheon, the monument dedicated to French heroes.

When the laws are clearly spelled out and everyone knows there will be consequences for breaking them, mercy is optional, but justice is to be expected. No one should complain about getting what they deserve. The guilt is on them, not on the one who handed down the sentence. There is no reason for the judge, jury, or officer to feel guilty for the consequence they must impose because of another person's crime and there is no reason for the guilty person to be angry about a punishment they know they deserve.

Robert Roberson is set to be executed by the state of Texas on October 16, 2025. But he is innocent. He has spent 20 years on death row, having been convicted of killing his 2 year old daughter Nikki. Robert's wrongful conviction was based on the now universally debunked theory of “shaken baby syndrome”. But autism plays a significant role in this tragedy as well, because the powers that be misinterpreted Robert's "odd" behavior, as evidence of his guilt. Robert's case has garnered BIPARTISAN support in the TEXAS legislature. Even the lead detective in the case now unequivocally concludes Robert is innocent. Lastly, a cadre of independent experts have presented unassailable evidence that Nikki's death was not a homicide. But despite all of this, the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, and the governor, Greg Abbot, refuse to stop this injustice. Now, it is up to us. Please listen to this episode, which includes two experts from the case, and then ACT. You can: 1) Call Gov. Abbot (737-277-6778) or reach out to him online and ask him to use his power to grant a 30 day reprieve to allow the courts to rule on his pending petion for a new trial; 2) Visit the innocence project and sign their petition https://innocenceproject.org/cases/robert-roberson/ 3) Show up for a rally in support of Mr. Roberson, on October 4 at 1:00pm at the Texas Capitol in Austin, TX.
