ButterflyGirl said:I can read
Do you realize that we will never know how many more innocent people may be sitting in prisons on a death row? What if there are more than these 122 people in prisons?
You want to believe that because it seems to me that you don't want to admit what if there are innocent people sitting in prisons. I admit that there may not be any innocent people in prisons but we need to face the fact that there may be and the only way to keep the law from making mistake by putting them to death is to ban the capital punishment. Let the guilty ones suffer in prison for LIFE. The innocent ones will be free when the truth about them are found.Reba said:"What if" there are not?

Rose Immortal said:I do support the death penalty under certain conditions.
FIRST: There must be a law that requires that the state pay for and test any DNA evidence available in the case. The same should go for any other forensic tests that can be run to make absolutely sure that the person being put to death is the correct one.
SECOND: That no joy is taken in the execution. It should be a solemn thing and it is always a tragedy when a life has gone so far astray that execution is necessary.
THIRD: That there is no excess suffering or torture. There is no sense in doing that.
I believe that murder, rape, and treason should be the three capital crimes. These are the crimes that can do the worst damage to lives and frankly, I don't think we can trust these kinds of people to go back out into society once they have done something like that. It isn't hatred that makes me say that--but rather the simple fact that we have no way to know whether or not they continue to pose a danger.
But, as I said in the other thread, if such a criminal truly has reformed, that will also come with an understanding that the earthly consequence of death is only temporary. I believe that a redeemed criminal will be taken to Heaven. Don't you remember the one man crucified alongside Jesus who asked for and received that promise? He committed the crime and served an earthly penalty for it--but you can be sure that man is still enjoying the blessings of Heaven. That is for God to know (not for me), and I trust that He will not withhold that from anyone who is truly deserving.
Rose Immortal said:Liebling--this is why I am recommending a law to require mandatory DNA/forensic evidence testing in capital cases, to try to reduce the number of cases of this happening. ALL evidence must be tested, and if necessary the state should have to pay for this if they want to execute someone. Do be careful not to think that people in support of the death penalty don't care about the possibility of innocents dying; that couldn't be further from the truth. I think we must use due caution--hence the law I suggest.

That was a German "life sentence."
^Angel^ said:I like what you say here, and I do have a question to ask you if I may, how do you feel about electric chairs? is that's a bit cruel as a punishment....
Do you think 19 years was enough punishment? I don't.GalaxyAngel said:German is wise which proprite punishment what more... Mohammed Ali Hamadi is using jijacking which it's very dangerous...
Why do you care ?
Do you wish that guy is death pently?
I do not think so!
send him jail longer til death.. instead of lethal or electro chair wha...ever
Rose Immortal said:I don't like the idea of that one, nor of hanging (also too many chances for not ending it immediately). My understanding, without research, is that it doesn't always work right. Whatever is done, it ought to be either instant or if not instant, it should not give the person a chance to feel too much pain.
Beowulf said:I am surprised that no one has pointed out that the death penalty is, um, racist in its application in the USA. Blacks make up the majority of those in Death Row even though they are among the minorities in the whole USA population.
And anyway, from an economic standpoint, life imprisonment is CHEAPER than execution, believe it or not.
You got a very good point there. It would be great if they ban capital punishments until the law to require DNA testing comes into effect. That would prevent the innocent ones from being put to death.Rose Immortal said:Liebling--this is why I am recommending a law to require mandatory DNA/forensic evidence testing in capital cases, to try to reduce the number of cases of this happening.

No more pain or terror than the victim suffered, eh?Rose Immortal said:... it should not give the person a chance to feel too much pain.
Reba said:Do you think 19 years was enough punishment? I don't.
Do I wish he got the death penalty? Yes! Now this terrorist is free, and he will kill more people. That is just wonderful!
