I voted don't know because it just said disabled, too. Disabled could refer to a mental illness that causes someone to loose touch with reality completely. But I really don't agree with the death penalty at all, because it has been proven that minorities and the vunerable are subjected to capital punishment disproportionately. It is not applied equally across the board based on offense. Therefore, our prisons are full of people who have committed heinous crimes but are sentenced to life, and our history is full of executions for murders committed with extenuating circimstances. Many people have been placed in prison for life or for extended sentences only to discover later that they were wrongly convicted. Had they been executued, we could not bring them back to life. For me, to risk executing even one innocent person in the name of retribution is too great a risk to take. Oops, I'm sorry just doesn't help much when the sate has executed an innocent person. Our justice system is run by humans and humans make mistakes.
