Where do we stand...
Regarding the Death penalty?
Just a simple yes/no. No specific scenarios. Just yes or no.

Re: Where do we stand...
Yes, but only for premeditated murder, and only in cases where there is absolutely no doubt that the person did it.
Otherwise I'm of the opinion that "Life" sentences should mean just that.... some people just can't be integrated back into society and have to be locked up. I also believe that sentences should take into account previous convictions, especially if the person didn't complete their previous term.. eg. person does crime, gets caught and sentenced to 10 years inside. After 5 years gets oot for good behaviour.... re-offends... the 5 years that he got away with first time should be added to his new sentence and he should be told that there will be no time off in this case. In other words it would be a disincentive hanging over him which might just work to keep him straight... thoughts? To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater.

Re: Where do we stand...
no; we don't have the right, plus the state is scarey enough without the power to orchestrate executions.

Re: Where do we stand...
No - if for no other reason than there can never be any way of being 100% certain of guilt, but the death penalty is final - no pardon can reincarnate a victim of an erroneous death sentence.

I'm against it. Especially if Benji tries to take it.

Nay, nay and thrice nay. Too much chance of innocent people being given the death sentence.

Re: Where do we stand...
100% no. Human life is the most amazing thing I know of. No-one has the right to take that away. We could get it wrong, in fact have in the past, and people can change.
Life sentences meaning until death for bad violence I'm for. Murder? Never.

Re: Where do we stand...
to be honest i think the whole 'yob culture' phenomenon is trumped up beyond belief. I rarely feel threatened in the street, have never been mugged etc. The problems in britain wont be solved by the death penalty because generally murders are spur of the moment, meaning that such a 'prventative' measure wouldnt work. the death penalty is also a total cop out, when governments have it they dont need to root out and solve society's problems.....instead they just crush them
