Death Penalty essays

From the two death penalty essays, I believe the Kroll essay was much stronger and more persuasive. Kroll used so much emotion that it made you feel like you where actually there. He also used a real example that he experienced about a close friend. Mencken made some mistakes in that he started off by completely turning down the typical arguments for his side. That just made me disagree with him right from the start, and I didn't want to listen to him. Kroll also never stated his opinion, he just explained what happened. This makes you agree with him no matter what side he is on.
