Bridget's feedback:

"It's a good idea to respond directly to counterarguments, and you've done well in highlighting major arguments against capital punishment and incorporating sources in the discussion. Some of the responses, however, aren't yet grounded in sources that best support your claims; this is particularly acute in the deterrence paragraph, which relies on a very old study and a very biased source (the Heritage Foundation). While there is nothing inherently "wrong" with this, a more recent study will enhance your ethos, showing your reader you have explored the full body of literature, and persuasiveness; similarly, pointing out the bias of the Mulhausen source can help anticipate the reader's concerns and show you have control over your material. Otherwise, only a reader who is already fully in agreement with you will be willing to follow you into a discussion of "who" should be executed, the mathematics of killing criminals to lower prison populations, and predictions of "a better future.""
