Death penalty (21)

Is there any crime that would make you want to use the death penalty,or do you think a 'life' sentence is enough?

I believe a life sentence is enough so long as that is what it is..no parole under any circumstances......you are there for life.

I always thought that the death penalty was extreme,but the more I see of the way some'people' are the more I would personally like to be the one pulling the switch(being honest)
Life sentences are nothing more than a joke in our justice system now,unless a specific number of years is specified,they are released after the one third regulation in most cases.
As for the death sentence..why keep they person in jail for 20 yrs before actually carrying it out? I can understand if there's a possibility of an error the person should have a reasonable period to try and prove their innocence(with the methods available today it does take 20 yrs) I find that 2 yrs would be long enough for them to state their case before the sentence should be carried out.

I am not in total disagreement with you, I do have to agree that life sentences do seem to be a joke and there definately needs to be major changes to our justice system I just have moral issues with the death penalty.

I think that if someone spilled my beer, that would be worthy of a death penalty but that's just me.

its been given up for less than that Cap!

but I think harsher penalties will deter crime, we need to inplement a hard line against violent crime. and youth crime...the young offenders act is becoming? a joke.

There is no question that certain crimes would sway my emotions towards the death penalty.

Yet, in general, I feel that the death penalty is a step to far for a troubled and less than perfect legal system. Besides two wrongs don't make a right. A death sentence is irreversible in case of error. Innocent people ARE convicted, some are fortunate enough to prove that, but I believe some aren't.

I agree that certain crimes should be ineligible for parole, with mandatory life sentencing, your there till you die and time served prior to trail is irrelevant, unless you prove your innocence. They should also put these inmates in with the general population, after conviction, instead of continuing to protect them.

Death penalty for serial killers.

An eye for an eye isn't always the best thing,and no killing doesn't bring people back.
Hurting others goes against my beliefs and I used to be against the death penalty,but with the atrocities of some of the crimes today I can honestly say 'hanging is too good for them'
