i think the problem with the world today is that there isn't in some cases a stiff enough punishment i see so many people get away with a slap on the wrist it makes me angry  |

I do not feel the same way, nor has this pushed me to side in any manner with the Death Penalty.  |

~Persephone, I have always been an advicate of the Death Penalty. I come from a law-enforcement family, and as we always said " No One Escapes From A Cemetary"<----that's a Cop-Joke. But, seriously, I am aware of the misconduct in Illinios, and the new DNA technology. However, I still believe the Death Penalty is called for. Why should I pay $30,000 a year for some scum-bucket to live out his life, with TV, 3 meals a day, weight room, library, ect, when they have denied someone else a quality of life. I cannot think of reason why we should NOT have a Death Penalty. ~ JMO~  |

I have one question, what makes a person righteous enough to take anothers life and call it justice, and not have that persons blood on their own hands?  |

I think if a person is paid by the state to inject the prisioner with drugs, or pull the switch, they are not guilty of murder. The murder is responsible for their OWN dath, since they choose to commit suicide by their own behavior. |

Suicide is taking your own life, by your own hand. So if the state pays a man to kill a person in their home it is ok, or does the location make a difference? |

suicide is the taking of one's own life by their own hand, (or their own ACTIONS ie: suicide by police, encouraging an officer to shoot-and-kill-you), or refusing food & water, till death. Those are also a suicide. Prison is not their "home". It is where they are kept. So, I think they signed their own death warrant, with their behavior. ~JMO~ |

Only if the laws in that area say so, so that is subjective based on location. |

very true! But, see since I have lived my whiole life in two states with the Death Penalty, that is what I am familar with....and yes, this is a very subjective discussion, one of suicide. I personally believe, back to this debate, the death penalty is called for. I do not want to pay to keep this monster alive for the next 60-70 years. |

I have a great reverance for life...all life. But, whoever hit this boy so hard, WITH A SINGLE BLOW as to cause him to stop breathing, IMO, deserves death. |

What a person deserves and what we do as humans are two different things, that is what makes us human, and what seperates us from being savages. |

The state is made up of imperfect human beings. It should not be granted the power to execute anyone. Al |

Also the source of the paycheck does not change the fact that a person is taking the life of another. And you said "But, see since I have lived my whiole life in two states with the Death Penalty, that is what I am familar with" moving beyond what we have learned is what advances our society, free thought, and the ability to make decisions on our own, we are not controled by our past. If we were you would have to concider the "killers" life, and the people that turned them into that would be the killers, because he could not move beyond it, and think for himself. So we have to choose, black and white death pennalties, or circumstances of a persons life. |

If this is based on money counts, then really the Death Penalty costs quite a bit more when you add up the $ it takes to try someone, Death Penalty cases have to be more thorough and convincing, they require more lawyers, the appeals process is taken more seriously, and then the many years of imprisonment until the actual execution, of course that is if they even get the death penalty, considering more cases that are tried with the intent of the death penalty are acquitted because of the severity of the Death Penalty. |

I totally agree. Human Rights don't apply. These kids are getting away with murder. If it's proven and not just speculated, like with a bunch of witness that can testify, then by all means get rid of them. Maybe they regret it, but it doesn't bring their victim back. I don't even want to go on with this. It just boils me. Take care and great post...Gallytuck.  |

The fact is all convictions are suppossed to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. This does not stop wrongful convictions. Al |

Gallytuck, will the exocution bring the victem back? No, then by your own argument, the exocution is void of any resolution. If their feelings of guilt while in prison don't matter because it wont bring the victem back, then their exocution doesn't matter either. |

Personally, I dont agree with nor disagree with the death penalty, and If I did, I wouldn't back down on what I belived just because a few was basically telling me I was wrong in what I was thinking, this is call conviction of ones beliefs sort of like I'm convicted on my beliefs of the Bible. But this isnt about the bible. Anyway, I think that IF a person/persons were to actually see the murder/s take place, IF THE evidence was soooooo much against this person, actually fact, actual witnesses, nothing here say, not just someone picking up a few of what they think are facts and then a jury convicts this person EVEN if someone DOESN"T see it, a jury convicts a person, then no I dont think death should be as there have been too many cases of people on death row that were innocent. THE FACTS, the WITNESS to me would have to pratically have to hold down the guy/girl that did the deed and hold them for the cops before I would say, sure give them the death penalty.  |
