Investigate the sites at these links:

• AIUSA: Rights for all: Death Penalty in the USA (http://www.amnestyusa.org/rightsforall/dp/index.html)
• Capital Punishment (http://www.religioustolerance.org/execute.htm)
• Pro-Death Penalty.com (http://www.prodeathpenalty.com/)

Evaluate the information found on each site according to the criteria listed on your Evaluating Web Sites page (http://eb.journ.latech.edu/rescourse/eval1.html). For each of the three sites, write a paragraph evaluating the site according to the criteria listed under each of the headings. (Go beyond the starting page for each site to investigate linked pages as well.) Add an overall evaluation as well. Thus, your submission for the AIUSA site should follow the format below.
