In your opinion is it fair for a convicted murderer to choose a last meal and method of execution?

Fairness has little to do with it. It's a matter of civility. By robbing them of that final choice, we become no better than them.

Mommymonster

Nope. The victim didn't get to choose that, why should the criminal?

mcharron1983

No way. They didn't let their victims choose their last meal or way of death.

No i don't think they should get anything

Hell no, especially if it is a rapist, or a brutal murderer, he should be torture till his last day and not accepted any pity. Think about that child or whomever he killed. If he wants mercy all of a sudden, how convenient. People like that deserve what they get.

they can choose thier last meal but i think they should die like the person they killed

like they strangled someone they should be strangled tortured someone to death so should they

I don't think so. The Victim of this heartless murderer was not aware of what would be happening to them that day and did not get to choose anything to be his or her last. Why should the murderer have any rights? You can't act like a normal civil person then you shouldn't be treated like one either!

Sadly,I think that criminals have it made in jail and prison facilities. The don't have to do s**t all day. They get three meals a day and just chill. It's vacation with free living. They get more in there than a lot of ppl out here in the real world.

NO WAY - Do you suppose they asked their victim what the victim wanted to eat or how the victim wanted to die? I say, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"!

I dont think a last meal is all that unreasonable. Most states limit the last meal to items that can be produced by the prison commisary with their on hand supplies. IE- no lobsters, caviar, etc. Some states are a bit more lenient if they rarely have an execution. Usually, method of execution is decided by the sentencing judge. Most states to lethal injections, which is humane and theoretically painless. Other states still have hanging and electricution, but those are starting to be ruled cruel and unusual.

What's the added cost? A few dollars?Give it to him.

i would have to say yes becuz even tho they did something worng, they mite not have meant to and their life is being taken away so they should at least get to die the way they want to and eat what they want so that their last minutes arent totally useless.

Tom S

Absolutely not, they should die by the exact same means in which they commited the murder.

As far as the last meal, well if they were feeding thier victim a nice meal at the time they took their life, ok.

I wonder if the murderer or rapist gave there victim a choice?

HELL NO.... they get no rights!!!! They killed someone, why should they be treated with any dignity when they gave their victim none/

Quithatenme

Nope. Ppl on death row shouldn't have any say in anything in life other than whether or not they should be allowed to go to the bathroom.

HITMAN

I am sure the person or people they killed were given choices....right. NO....they deserve nothing, they should have a cell with no lights, no bed, no conversation, until the day they go...they can have a priest if they want to confess to their sins before they go.

i think its fair enough for us to gave him the last meal the he/she wants. it wont change a fact he/she will be executed in the end.

Rosie c

In my opinion yes it is fair and humane that a last meal can be chosen ( Food deprivation is torture).

Method of Execution choice is more complicated as it presumes that there is a choice. Still not 100% sure about execution. Though. Choice or no choice,

sweetbeesma

No. get what you get.

Spell Check !!

Yes. But they should burn the food. Than burn the dude. There's always room for Jello.

naecresearch

Yes, I thinks it's like a final form of torture. You have to think about the fact that you are about to die (probably like their victims). If you only knew you would die one day- it wouldn't be as real as choosing how you would die.

Waiting for Madelyn :)

yes, because if they are going to die why should it matter? One last meal and a choice of death they are not getting out of. They are going to suffer because of what they did they will lose not only their life but their family, friends, and everyone who once cared about them.

fairly smart

Well, he's going to die anyway, & he has been supported by all of our tax money for as long as he was incarcerated, so what the heck is one more meal, & a needle or electric chair? If he chosses the needle, at least it will save energy!

Matt D

I say give them what they gave their victims. That sounds fair and just to me.

Wes

Yes, everyone deserves a little happiness before they go away.

Calm

HELL NO! That always riled me up....what da heck they need a last meal for when they're gonna die in a few minutes anyway??!

rotorhead

It's customary. I just don't care for the 12 - 14 year delay.

raichasays

Why would it be unfair? Who does it hurt if he chooses hot dogs instead of chicken?

As for choosing a method of execution, they usually do not get to do that. Methods are set by state law, if they are not declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.

defiler78
