Killing someone as punishment because they have killed someone seems ridiculous to me.

I've always been against it, the whole taking one life with another doesn't sit well with me, but crimes nowadays just get sicker n sicker. I always thought that the person deserves to live their life in prison living with their crime but sadly alot of them I imagine feel no remorse.

No human should have the right to take another's life.

It is assumed that 3-5% of death row inmates in America are innocent or wrongly convicted.

He deserved it and karma that it was botched

He was a rapist and murderer and got what he deserved

That's just my opinion

my opinion is divided, when they gave those men in india who gang raped that young girl on a bus and then threw her off it and left her to die I thought they deserved everything they got, people who commit that type of crime are just wastes of good oxygen in my opinion. I'm not religious and I'm not that sentimental about humans, if someone is a danger to others I don't think they should be allowed to have any oppurtunity to life, then again with wrongful convictions happening all the time if someone is put to death who is then found innocent of that crime it's unthinkable! I find it hard to be totally for one way or the other.

First thought: I'm against it and judging from the number of murders in the US it doesn't really stop people from killing each other.

But if someone I love would be brutally murdered I may change my mind. I don't know.

No wonder there are always disputes about this, I can't even make up my own mind ffs

that is exactly how I feel , and it is always easy to think a certain way about something when you don't have a personal attachment, it can certainly change your opinion once it happens to you.

There's no place for the death penalty in a modern society. I might wish some people dead for what they've done but a government should not kill people full stop.

maybe it would be better for the family of the victim to decide wether they should receive the death penalty or not. Anyone watch that pscyhopath night on more4 recently? Or the louis theroux doc on paedophiles? Should these people have a right to life? Who knows.

Ok, so someone murders someone and we straight off spend hundreds of thousands of pounds, providing them with legal representation. They're convicted and we then spend £40,000 a year to keep them in Jail, for the next how long? They're fed better than most, kept warm, receive medical attention, provided with free recreation faciities etc etc etc YET the NHS won't pay for Cancer beating medication, as they can't justify the cost?? Morally there's something wrong there....

You may also be surprised to hear that there are more white people on the U.S. death row than black people & that in the last 40 years nearly twice as many white people have been executed.

mr here the main problem vis there has been too many innocent people jailed and or put to death only to be found out afterwards that's why I would be against death penalty. but saying that if someone did anything to a loved one I think the law would be the least of their worries and before its said that id have to know for sure that they did it thats what waterboarding is for

America the so called land of the free. The US government/system is rotten to the core. Goin around causing wars around the world for their own self interests and preaching renditions in other country's when they execute at will. They claim to have the most sophisticated army in the world and billions spent on NASA every year and they can't even administer the correct drugs to execute. In New Orleans they gave the poor people the two fingers after the floods.

In England in the 70s they wanted to bring back the death penalty for the Guildford 4 and Birmingham 6, if they did 10 innocent people would have died after another rotten system framed them.

If they're innocent, they should be able to prove it. Remember the burden of proof is beyond reasonable doubt, to a jury of your peers. For the greater good of all, is the saying that comes to mind...

See, this is what annoys me. People get aquitted in the criminal courts, or have convictions overturned, having been found to be 'unsafe' and are decreed as being innocent. Yet a large number of these cases are then pursued by victims in the civil courts, where the burden of proof is "in all probability" and the courts find in favour of the victim. Is that innocent?

Equally plenty of guilty people get good lawyers and can "prove" they are "not" guilty. The law sucks and not in a good way!

Was it Michael Portillo who did the documentary a few years ago about methods of execution? I'm not sure if it was but his contention that the use of nitrogen gas would result in the victim dying in a state of euphoria. It seemed like the ideal way to kill someone but the pro death penalty lobby in the USA weren't having any of it. They preferred the idea of a bit of suffering!

"An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind "

There was a system in Ireland one time where the criminal had to make compensation to the victims family for his crime eg if he/she killed a farmer they had to take the farmers place and work the farm. This sort of punishment is more beneficial than prison...... I suppose community service is today equivalent.

in america there are 200000 people in prisons for murder so clearly the punishment doesnt scare people from murdering others. the swiss nation have the same right as americans to hold firearms but u dont see them killing every body who says a wrong word to them. i think the death penalty doesnt work so it should be done away with.

if any1 can come up with what to replace it with that would be good.

what sentance do you give a child killer? a person who rapes and kills a woman? or a person who guns down a rival gang member?

so Hal would you consider the murder of a child the same as a gang member killing anything as they would both get the same sentance? im only asking as the child killer is clearlly the mpre evil of the 2 but u cant let the gang member do less time.

im just saying its hard to make a call on the yes or no of death pen as we just get more shock each year with differant types of murders. remember if u lock some1 up for life they will still be able to laugh and smile no matter how small but the person the murdered can not

No but it puts it into context, the system, NOT the punishment, fails...predetermine the maximum stay of execution, to 1 year maximum.

No but it puts it into context, the system, NOT the punishment, fails...predetermine the maximum stay of execution, to 1 year maximum.

Ridiculous."

How? What can you prove in 15 years, that you can't prove in 1??

"Ok, so someone murders someone and we straight off spend hundreds of thousands of pounds, providing them with legal representation. They're convicted and we then spend £40,000 a year to keep them in Jail, for the next how long? They're fed better than most, kept warm, receive medical attention, provided with free recreation faciities etc etc etc YET the NHS won't pay for Cancer beating medication, as they can't justify the cost?? Morally there's something wrong there....

It costs more to execute someone in the U.S. than it does to lock offenders away for life.

"No human should have the right to take another's life.

It is assumed that 3-5% of death row inmates in America are innocent or wrongly convicted.

I would imagine its alot higher.wat with the fucked up racists american justice system

You may also be surprised to hear that there are more white people on the U.S. death row than black people & that in the last 40 years nearly twice as many white people have been executed."

True but blacks make up 42% of death row inmates but only 12% of the general population. But there are slightly more white people on death row in the US but whites are underrepresented as a percentage of the general US population.

The same is true for those actually executed blacks are over represented given that they make up around 12% of the population.

Also in interracial murders only 20 white people have been executed for murdering a black person but 270 blacks have been executed for murdering white people.

Most Arab countries do not have stoning as the death penalty.

Stoning is only included in the laws of 4 countries of the Middle East (Arab )

Its also included in the laws of Pakistan, sudan and some areas of Nigeria

It's not used for murder, it's used for homosexuality and aldultery ( which includes being raped)

A society that is willing to take the life of a citizen no matter how heinous the crime can hardly call its self civilised.

The criminals on death row in the U.S.A. don't come from mars.Most come from poor under privileged backgrounds If they could afford proper legal representation the majority would avoid death row.

Also the average stay on death row is ten years with the appeal system and cost more than it would to keep the prisoner locked up for the rest of his natural life.

As a civilised society should be more concerned with the environments that created these criminals and correct the problems there.

Also there are loads of people on death row who commited murders in there teens...people can change...also victim of circumstance is often a large role to play ...

If it was a loved one of mine committed a crime I would expect them to be punished no matter how horrible it makes you feel the worst thing I would feel would be disappointment in myself and them, me for not bringing them up with the values I hold dear and them for not having the sense to not do it.

"in america there are 200000 people in prisons for murder so clearly the punishment doesnt scare people from murdering others. the swiss nation have the same right as americans to hold firearms but u dont see them killing every body who says a wrong word to them. i think the death penalty doesnt work so it should be done away with.

if any1 can come up with what to replace it with that would be good.

what sentance do you give a child killer? a person who rapes and kills a woman? or a person who guns down a rival gang member?

Life in prison.for some life with no parole"

there should be some labour involved, let them give something back to society at least.

Btw, it's harder to get a gun in Switzerland than it is in the US. Although men who are still active in the military keep their weapons at home. Up until a few years ago, they also kept some ammunition at home as well. There were some bad incidents however, considering that around 600'000 households have a weapon at home, it's very very rare.

I guess it has to do with how the society works and values are tought. You won't find that much desperate poverty and lack of education in Switzerland as in the US. Put a gun into a hungry, uneducuated and/or abused person's hands and wait for the terror to happen.

I'm not justifying people being killed, but just following on what elusive male said

Back off I didn't say anything about them. We are talking about murders, rapists ect people who deserve it. If you have the right lawyer you can literally get away with murder now a days.

The simple truth is... the courts..the laws the prison system IS A JOKE

There is No Fear anymore..no Respect.

There should be!

If someone murders another person.. that's premeditated..or as a result of a crime..robbing a bank or breaking into a home.. they have Taken Another Persons Life!

The victim..will never eat sleep or breath again.

Why are the laws protecting the guilty...wheres the protection for the victim.

If someone I loved was murdered..id want to see the murderer drag through the streets in fear... in public for everyone to see...id want that person hung up to die... all the begging for mercy..pissing themselves... how much mercy has that person shown to the victim!!

Our system is falling apart... career criminals.. murderers..rapists are laughing at jail. If u get caught you get look after..u get free food free electricity..free study..free medical.. there's even plans for free internet!!!

We have to pay for everything.. where's the justice??

We've all gotten too nicey nicey.. theres no punishment anymore... worrying about human rights of the criminal... a criminal..someone who breaks the law should forfeit their human rights and should b punished!

Death penalty.. Yes..only on being 100% proven.. id caught on camera.. or found with the body under the bed.

Harder prisons...Yes..chain gangs..splitting rocks

Tougher sentencing... Yes

Sorry a bit of a rant...just sick of people being too nice

"The simple truth is... the courts..the laws the prison system IS A JOKE

There is No Fear anymore..no Respect.

There should be!

If someone murders another person.. that's premeditated..or as a result of a crime..robbing a bank or breaking into a home.. they have Taken Another Persons Life!

The victim..will never eat sleep or breath again.

Why are the laws protecting the guilty...wheres the protection for the victim.

If someone I loved was murdered..id want to see the murderer drag through the streets in fear... in public for everyone to see...id want that person hung up to die... all the begging for mercy..pissing themselves... how much mercy has that person shown to the victim!!

Our system is falling apart... career criminals.. murderers..rapists are laughing at jail. If u get caught you get look after..u get free food free electricity..free study..free medical.. there's even plans for free internet!!!

Americans are idiots... if an American is reading this he'll agree

No...I don't mean just bring it in... I mean the conditions for Death penalty would have to be stricter... only for the complete nut jobs out there.

And anyone who's done a violent crime..rape..child abuse.. muggings.. should be tagged..FOR LIFE...

People are let out of prison all the time..and go straight back to what they did before... WHY?? Because there is no punishment! Prison is a holiday camp.
