Summary/Abstract: As per 24.08.2016 the full text article had to be removed due to copyright issues. The death penalty was an ample debated subject over time and unfortunately, the present failed to conclude its existence. We kill in the name of law and we shrug when we get it wrong. The reflections over death penalty written by Arthur Koestler and Albert Camus, strictly referred to their countries, England and France, are meant to justify XVII, XVIII, XIX and XX centuries. But, because we do use the capital punishment nowadays, it is extremely important not to overlook at what these great moralists have said and to wonder how truly necessary is death penalty?
