Death Penalty? What's your opinion?

Thanks, I'm ot so good with words sometimes,

 

And it's always understandable when subject is something like this and I hope you continue this good discussion

 

Isn't hearsay inadmissable in a court of Law? Or did they revoke it without anybody knowing it?

 

Keep the Death Penalty so that people would think about it before they want to take someone's life...

 

You know folks, it would be really nice if you'd "quote" posts what you are referring to so it would be easier to follow.

 

I was referring to Korbjarger's article about Tookie's execution by our "plastic" gov. Arnold the musclemaker! And my question was about hearsay evidence being admitted in court.

 

i know! that man shouldnt be making these kinds of decesions(sp?)

 

I'm in perfect agreement with you, Ineverysunflower!

 

Just read form the paper...About the Death Penalty...Is it truth that only people, who would approval Death Penalty, could be a juror in court?

 

I'm all for the death penalty. For 2 reasons.

1) It's a quick solution to the problem

2) I don't want to pay to keep the bastards alive. It's the tax payer's money that goes to feeding them, water when they flush the toilet, electricity in their cell, clothes, and medical help (if needed). I don't want to pay for their necessities do you?

 

I'm agaisnt the death penalty.
I mean, if you get the wrong guy, an innocent guy, give him the death penalty, and find out god knows how later that he's innocent, you can't like, go back in time and stop the innocent guy from dying, where else if you put the guy in prison, and you find he's innocent after a few years or so, you can get him outta prison, and he can go on with life.

Forgive me if that reason has been posted here before, but I'm in a rush, don't have much time to read all the posts here.

 

Yeah, I have mixed feelings about the death penalty. Like robospanker_fan said, there's a chance that an innocent person could die (anyone ever see The Life of David Gale?).

But, on the other hand, I don't see why we should continue to put tax dollars towards keeping these people well-fed and alive in jail.

On the other hand, I feel that some crimes are so horrific that they deserve the death penalty.

On the other hand, is it our right to decide who lives and who dies?

...you can see the dilemma I'm in when it comes to the issue of assigning the death penalty...

 

You have a lot of hands there, lambda_T. :lol:

 

Actually an execution costs about 1.5 million in tax payer money , whereas a life sentence is about half a million dollars in tax payer money.

 

Where'd you hear that? :lol:
