How to use penalty in a sentence?
I feel like the death penalty was an easy way out, and life in prison certainly, in my opinion, is not bad enough, i wish there were an alternative because I think that punishments should fit the crime.
There’s no question in my mind he’s going to pay the penalty for carrying an illegal firearm.
It was actually our stick that probably prevented it from going in. We just needed another inch, there should have been a penalty on Sebastian Aho. They didn’t call a penalty and he was hauled down. If it wasn’t a goal we should have been on the power play; that didn’t happen. They score on a turnover, on us. We’ve got to manage that puck. We didn’t.
They're trying to send me to prison for five years, which is the penalty, because I mistakenly recalled when I filed this FTC report that I had opened the account in September 2018, but in fact, it was April. Then I went back and I made them aware of that.
Folks support the death penalty for the same reason they support all sanctions - justice.
