I think the American people need to have a national vote on the subject of death penalty. This cannot be chosen by a few persons sitting in an office they only use 130 days out of a year.
If a death penalty is ok'd by the people, then UNIFORM punishment, and measures need to be adopted.

Yes, some criminals definitely deserve it. But it should only be approved after proving guilt.

Death penalty is a far to easy option out of it!!! Look at Ian Huntley would you want him dead or would you want him to suffer just like those poor girls did......We should think of harsher penalties for these ppl it would make them and others think twice about doin these awful things

Anne S

Absolutely!

It's all too easy to say, "Yes" to this one. If I was personally affected, then I'd be baying for blood like the next man. However, we have to consider what has made them do it. Everyone KNOWS how abhorrent these crimes are, so people must be ill to commit them. No NORMAL person would abuse a child, etc. Is it right to punish somebody because they are ill? Of course not. When we start doing that , we lower ourselves to the level of the person we are condemning.
For that reason, and for the fact we can never be 100% sure (a confession could be made under duress or the alleged perpetrator could be mental), I would not sign a petition for the death penalty.
For your information, I'm a father to three girls and grandad to 7.

no, what about the miscarriges of justice ie the birmingham 6 and guildford 4 and many others if Britan had the death penalty these innocent people would be dead now.

Itrolla

No. How would you define 100% evidence anyway?

Hell Yeah

For some crimes I would, but for some of the others I wold bring back the "Eye for an Eye" judgement. If you bad enough to so it to someone else then you bad enough to get it done to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely

No sorry i wouldn't, although some evil people might deserve it i don't believe in it. No one should have the right to take a life. Gandhi was spot on when he said ' an eye for an eye and we would all be blind'
Throw away the key I say.

No actually I don't think I would. I don't know what we would do with them. I don't think the jail system works well at all. No-body has the right to kill another human unless mutual consent has been given i.e. between husband and wife when one is seriously ill and doesn't wish to be revived. I do think that the punishment should fit the crime but there is no way to tell if someone did or didn't do something. This is a huge debate and if we ever get the chance to pose suggestions to Parliament that mean anything I will stand with you and state a case!

Its dangerous for the prisoners. They'd be a complete psycho. Ok so they might go in a mental hospital but they're still a risj.

TJD

I totally believe in the death penalty- so yes, I would.

Wattsie

Absolutely! I once ran a petition on the same subject, but I was over zealous and didn't get the amount of support I had predicted.
Did well though. However the Labour/Blair governemt didn't take heed to what I had to say!
