All individuals standing trial in a court of law deserve to be defended
Agree. It is a basic human right for everyone to have a fair trial and to be able to know what he’s being accused of, to face his accuser, and to be judged by a fair jury. Everybody should have a say and be heard. In order to do so a person requires a legal defense. Lawyers, however, cost money and if you cannot afford it that should not mean that you will not be defended. In such a case the state should provide a lawyer free of charge. All humans should have the same rights no matter if they're rich or poor. If we live in a just society then everyone deserves the same treatment. Even people of another race who we may not agree with deserve to be heard. This is especially true for people who are uneducated and so cannot defend themselves. Furthermore this also applies to people who may be guilty since everybody is innocent until proven guilty. All human beings should at least be able to give their point of view because perhaps this could be a point of view that nobody else has heard.
Sometimes murder is a necessary evil
Disagree. Murder is never justified. God has given everybody a life. This is something that we should respect and nobody has the right to deprive anybody else of a life no matter how they chose to live it. Even if they choose to live a life of crime, putting someone to death doesn’t achieve anything. How does it teach them to be better human beings if they’re dead. We like to live in a society where we would like to feel safe. We wouldn’t like it if people went around killing each other so we have laws to control this. Sometimes people think that it is okay to kill another person if it's in self-defense, to protect a loved one or in a war. However, i don't think it is ever necessary. Surely there are other ways to solve problems rather than go to war. Even in the case of abortions. Killing a baby just so that it wont get your disease for example Isn't an answer. Even if it lives for just a brief amount of time, its better than no time at all as every moment of life is precious.
