    This document contains a worksheet on outlining the central ideas and supporting points for a presentation arguing that the death penalty should be abolished. The central ideas are that the death penalty is expensive, risks killing innocent people, and is ineffective and against human rights. Supporting points under each central idea provide statistics and examples to back up these arguments, such as the high legal costs of death penalty cases, cases of innocent people being executed, and lack of evidence that the death penalty deters crime more than life imprisonment.
