In this episode of The Perspicacious Perspective, I dive into one of the most controversial topics in law and morality: the death penalty. I explore whether capital punishment is truly justice or just vengeance disguised as law.

I break down how the death penalty is enforced around the world, the most common execution methods—from lethal injection to hanging—and why governments continue to use them. I also examine miscarriages of justice in Western legal systems, where flawed trials, human error, or circumstantial evidence have nearly led to irreversible consequences.

Along the way, I reflect on infamous cases like the Tylenol Murders, the history of execution, and some of the most extreme forms of torture ever devised. I also question whether modern capital punishment is genuinely more humane or just a sanitized continuation of historical brutality.

Join me as I unpack the moral, legal, and societal debates surrounding the death penalty—and challenge you to think critically about what justice should really mean.
