Opening Argument

Ladies and gentlemen we are gathered here today to debate about a law that was birthed in 1994 after a very tragic event took place. We will hear from the opposing side that this law was the best law ever created, we will further hear that since the creation of the Three Strike's Law we have in fact cured society of predators like the one that prayed on little Polly Clasp.

Ladies and Gentlemen I want you to know that a view point such as theirs could not be further from the truth. I want everyone of your in this room to close your eyes and to imagine that your daughter is Polly Clasp and you have just found out that your daughter is no longer here on earth because a violent sick man killed her.

I want you to look deep and tell me are there any laws currently set in place to punish criminals such as the one convicted of killing Polly Clasp. I want you to also think about another questions. Without the Three Strikes Law would Polly Clasp killer if caught have gone FREE? If not why not?

We live in the United States Of America a place where we as Americans understand that if we commit a crime we will be punished for that said crime. We have to understand that without the Three Strikes Law criminals were not getting away with heinous crimes. With our laws criminal pay for their crimes. So why is there a need to push and use a law that in essence is not needed and in all fairness is a waste of Tax Payers money?
