The Jared Loughner case in the textbook has moved beyond initial speculation as to the
  possible outcome.

 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Despite decades of efforts to improve justice in the imposition of the death penalty, statistics
  show that to this day racial minorities and men are much more likely to be sentenced to the
  death penalty than white felons and women for identical crimes.

 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Research reliable sources (especially major newspapers) to find out
what has happened in this case. Analyze whether you believe this was the most ethical
outcome. If you disagree with the outcome, develop philosophical arguments to support
the outcome you believe is most justified.

Answer to Question 2

1. Research reliable sources (such as the web site of the Department of Justice) to identify
the most recent statistics nationwide on imposition of the death penalty by race, gender,
and economic class.
2. Research reliable sources to identify the most recent statistics on imposition of the death
penalty in your own state (or a neighboring state if your state does not have the death
penalty).
3. Should this continued racial and gender disparity be sufficient to conclude that the death
penalty cannot be administered fairly and should be abolished? What could be done to
eradicate these unfair disparities?
