Capital punishment is the legal way of killing someone. It has been formally been ended in Canada, although sometimes they still practiced in the United States. Arthur Lucas and Ronald Turpin, capital punishment was removed from the Canadian Criminal Code. A convicted person could be subject to capital punishment if they committed the crimes such as killing a police officer or prison guard, a murder of an individual under six, murder while kidnapping, burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, or multiple murders. Other crimes may include murder during a prison escape, or murder by a state prison inmate. The death penalty was first introduced to Canada in 1865 and carried out until the last two executions in 1962. Later on, the death penalty was limited to those who commit the murder of a police officer whose working or prison guard and finally ended it from the Criminal Code. It was then replaced with a mandatory life sentence. In the story “Two Fishermen” was most likely to have been taken place within a long time if it had taken place in Canada, because of the period between the death penalty when it was introduced to Canada and when it was limited to those who committed the murder of a police officer or prison guard.

In my opinion, No Thomas Delaney should not have been killed because he was trying to save her from sexual assault with was more of a defending process in which he did. Thomas meant to do the crime as he did because it was a criminal against his wife that was in serious help and he did not stutter to do the crime to save her, also to save himself when he walked in because Matthew had gone and attacked him as well not only his wife. Them convicting him was not the right choice because Thomas Delaney was not in a proper mindset as he was angry because his wife was being attacked. If nothing happened and Thomas just went off and did the crime then this whole situation would be completely different but it’s not and he didn’t deserve to be convicted.
