IMO, no.
I think the death penalty should be only applied to the most heinous criminals, ie, serial killers.
As the Innocence Project has shown, too many times an innocent person is convicted. Now there is a case in Missouri of a possible innocent man having been put to death. Execution of convicted killer being investigated - Crime & Punishment - MSNBC.com
Like in the case of John Wayne Gacy, where they dug up 25 bodies under his house, or Jeffrey Dahmer, where they found body parts laying around his apartment, there can be no question of guilt. Those are the only cases, IMO, that should be put to death. |
Here in Michigan..we need the death penalty. You from Michigan, and
you see where the Governor has signed a release to free prisoners.
Now, Most of them criminals have been locked up so long until they
will be losted in time out here in society, and most will not lasted a
good years back out here in the streets.
We all need to use some common sense about this topic, and like
I have said MANY TIMES until it hits home this subject will be
ignored by plenty. Rage isn't no excuse to kill someone, and the
law calls it pre-meditated. Because of the fact that there was a
time space to think.
I do not feel sorry for nobody who don't take the time out to
think. That's just like on many of the message threads. Some
do not take to time to think their thoughts or opinions out
before they post them. |
