If you were murdered in cold blood how many years in prison would you want your murderer to serve?

I'm 100% against the death penatly and life prison sentences so no to either of those. I'd say 10 years in prison and involvement in programs to rehabilitate and help this person.

Mr. Morden

Throw away the key. I don't support the death penalty.

Life in prison with hard labour but it has to be LIFE not just a few years then parole. The death sentence is too quick - hard labour means they would suffer xxxx

Wow what a good question!

I believe anyone who murders in cold blood should go to prison until they die. Prison should be a cell with only a basic toilet, bread and water, no tv, no games, no perks. It should be a punishment and a deterrent.

A life for a life (and none of this human rights c**p)

I would think losing 20 - 30 years of their life would be sufficient. The death penalty is nothing more than government sanctioned revenge killing and I would definitely not want to be the reason for that happening.

Call me crazy but I believe in a persons right to make up for their crimes.

Unspeakable torture, THEN the death penalty.

I will say if you were murdered or anyone they should stay in jail until they die of old age!
I don't agree with the death penalty
but no computers or TV for them
only books etc
no treating them like its a holiday home or a school
make them do a good days work
punish them for their crime
that is what jail is for to punish them not to rehabilitate them
that is just a crock

No death will only save him from suffering...and I want him to suffer like he got my family to suffer without me....alone in a room in tha prison without any window...but everday hes gonna wake up and belive this is the day Iam gonna be send to the death but he isnt....and hes gonna be totally alone with no visitors and noone to talk to...that will be causing suffering...

Not the death penalty, but life without possibility of parole. Dying takes a few minutes. Living 30 or more years in jail with no hope of ever leaving, then getting sick and being confined to a hospital ward in the prison, then finally dying with no loved ones or friends at your side - ah, now THAT'S punishment.

Life, though I guess it depends if I'd done summat bad to make them wanna kill me, like slept with their husband or summat. If it was for no reason then definitely life and I'd haunt em for good measure

Kill the f---er.

in cold blood? what without mercy? as apposed to murdered nicely? A slightly leading question.

Assuming that they could catch my murderer, who would have to be cleverer than me (and would therefore be uncatchable). Assuming also that they catch the right guy. I'd give him life in prision then randomly free him after 20 years with no social skills whatsoever and a zimmer frame.

I can't recommend the death penalty because that's revenge not justice and also it's my belief that once you are dead you are dead so he wouldn't have time to think about what he had done to the world's nicest man (me). The first two assumptions are also so huge that we couldn't rule out a mistake.

Granted, a country without the death penalty decends into utter chaos within five minutes with people getting gibbed by boat anchors left right and centre. Whereas a country with the death penalty such as the US is a paragon of social virtue with an extremely low homicide rate where everyone is so scared of getting caught for murder that it hardly ever happens.

It's the certainty of punishment that is the deterent NOT the type of punishment.

would you do anything that would certainly leave you in a windowless box for 20 years? Or would you be too scared of a vague chance of death IF you get caught?

can someone help me down from this horse?

jt_map

I would say 50 years.

Umm they should never see the light of day again, death penalty is just too easy!

Death penalty.
An eye for an eye.

No to the death penalty. It doesn't deter other criminals, nor does it bring me back, it doesn't save money, and they might have the wrong person.

The average murderer serves 14 years in prison. I'd want the murderer to spend time in prison until we were sure that they wouldn't do it again in the outside world -- if that means that they're dead, then so be it.

life imprisonment.COMPLETE ISOLATION.no contact with any1.fed through of those tubes that hamsters have if possible.burial like mozarts.

spewing_originality

How ever many years i had lived, plus the years of any of my loved ones. If i had been 20 and in love with a 20 year old girl, with parents at 50 and 52, friends at 20, 19, 21, 23...
you get the idea. life in prison. in a tent prison. I'd want that for anyone guilty of cold-blooded murder.

Craig

death penalty. and i would want it carried out just how i was murdered. ex. if my throat was sliced i would want his throat sliced.
