    That is just a horrible story and I agree these people should be given the death penalty. The one argument which I do think is valid with people who are against the death penalty is where there are cases of wrongful convinction. What would happen if someone was put to death then sometime down the road it turns out the wrong person was sentenced to death. I personally hope these horrible people rot in jail for the rest of their lives while being tormented daily by other inmates....that is probably worse for them than a quick lethal injection.

    People who murder innocent children etc should pay, however giving them the death penalty is just giving them the easier way out.

    It is undertsandable taht yeah there are abstards out there doing horrific things-they should have life sentences in prison

    The law is not always right, it's definetly not perfect sometimes innocent people get convicted and if they were given the death penalty- then it would be morally wrong an unfair- you cannot guarantee it would'nt happen it would.

    in basic terms seem to those international places that seem to assume the dying penalty is a deterrent, are murders inspite of the actuality that dedicated there? i think of so, unquestionably i think of the homicide fee in a number of those international places maintains to be to be quite precise, corresponding to Jamaica, who's 0.33 on earth listings of homicide consistent with head of capita, in the Western international, the optimal united states is Russia, which additionally has the dying penalty (no. 5 on the checklist), regardless of if their chief retains moratorium. On a private degree, i do no longer wish my government being as undesirable by fact the human beings who dedicated the crimes. As a human beings, or united states, I wish we are larger than that. i think of the human race has moved on from 'putting drawing and quartering' human beings in public, a flow back of the dying penalty is a step backwards

    not fair, for innocent people who has no evidence to prove innocent. But I think prison is worse than death penalty.
