ITs funny how the gov, puts a person to death who committed a death

Yes. It should be used more, especially with repeat offenders of vicious crimes.

There are two problems with the death penalty; one moral and the other financial.

Over 100 men have now been freed from death row after DNA tests were able to prove that they did not commit the crime; these tests were not available when they were convicted. So - how do we reconcile as a society the possibility that we have put to death the wrong person?

In terms of finances, it costs about half as much to keep a man in prison for 35 years as it does to put on a capital trial. This is because far more is spent on the initial trial, and then the death penalty phase and an automatic appeal, than would normally be necessary for a non-death penalty trial.

I don't want to kill the wrong person; and I don't want to spend more money than is necessary on criminals and their defense. So for both moral and financial reasons, I oppose the death penalty.

I live in Canada and we don't have the death penalty.. but I do agree with it if they have check everything through and they are prosecuting an Innocent person. I also agree with it if the person has done something like murder, or rape and murder, or something equal to that.

If you kill someone, are you taking away there right to Repent before God?

Murder is Murder don't matter who is doing it.

Death for certain crimes, yes. 10 years of appeals and trials before the execution takes place, no. The families deserve the piece of mind that these people are dead soon after the trial is done.

My mind is telling me Yes and my heart is telling me No. Yes, in a very distinct reason of kind of criminality committed something heinous is worth executing. No, because I always remember Jesus when He told everyone that those without sin let him casts the first stone. If I will be to judge this, I will cast by lot for all to be put into death so let God decide on it.

no because only god can judge you not a cop or judge only god can and those who give the death penalty will also be judged by god! :)

Depending on the crime, I absolutely agree with it. I don't approve of lethal injection though. The various scumbags out there do not deserve to be put down the same way a good and faithful dog is.

No. The government doesn't use it. It has to be brought by citizens of this country. If a jury doesn't find the criminal guilty of a crime punishable by death, that criminal wont get the death penalty.

A person is only a criminal if they've been convicted with due process of law.

I agree with the death penalty. Take 'em out into the street and smash 'em under a steamroller.

No, I disagree with it. My country got over killing its own citizens decades ago. But from the answers that I'm seeing, there are a lot of violent people out there in the US
