I think that the death penalty is so wrong. I can not ever see the justice in legalised murder. As to the horrific crimes and criminals that warrant these thoughts of capital punishment. To me it is worth the state expenditure to have these people pay for there crimes in time served without freedom.
I never want to be associated with the death of another whether legal or otherwise. Obviously if some atrocity was to happen to my family then my feelings would be different. Of that I have no doubt. This is why i am glad that we have a system of Law and justice that is upheld by others rather than the victims.

Mixing a little two parts which have become apparent in this thread.
To those who are against the death penalty;
If someone like Ian Huntly needed a new kidney and he would die without it and it was found that YOU had the only possible match in the world, would you donate a kidney to Ian Huntley?
While being against the death penalty, I certainly would NOT offer him one of mine, therfore I would be condeming him to death....Tough!!!
Also, while being against the death penalty, I do not see why we should keep the likes of Ian Huntley alive. Its said he wants to commit suicide, I'd give him a noose from his cell ceiling and a rickety stool to go with it (with approbriate safety notices of course, don't want the HSE worried). The say "OK brave boy, if you want to go, bye bye" bet he won't do it.

but do you not feel that this gives them an easy way out, and denies proper justice or closure for the families of the victims
....most (I would imagine, but Im not saying for definate) want some long term suffering for the and a proper life sentence in a proper jail (as in my sheriff joe post
and not some place where the cons can do college courses, read, play sports and games, have days out, watch films and so on.
If there was a proper punishment alternative to the death penalty, maybe numbers who are pro deat would change
and FWIW, I wouldnt p!ss on Ian Huntley if he was on fire, much less give him one of my kidneys!

3 lads recently got 'life' for killing the father (I forget his name) on the street. The youngest is 16, he got minimum 12 years. That is not life, and while I accept he may well be kept in longer than that I feel that if life doesn't mean you come out dead then it should at least mandate to age 70, or 20 years if you are already 70.
How hard can it be to stop drugs getting into prison? As hard as banning all face to face visitors and putting any drug-trafficking staff straight into the cells. So drug users should be got off drugs before being released no matter how long it takes.

Shite! what can one say. I think its a brave move opening up and telling people, sometimes a first step on a longer journey. If you haven't done so please go get counselling I am a total advocate in the good it can do and it is never to late.
Your points re:- death penalty are made poignant by this and respect is due.

Garfield :wherethefeckisthatbughugemote:
A good friend of mine suffered something very similar. Her bedroom was firebombed (she was in it) in an attempt to stop her giving evidence. Not wanting to go into too many details, but the bastard got off for reasons which today would be seen as atrocious. It affects every aspect of her life, every day.
Likewise with someone else I know- it's shaped his relationships with people and left him with huge weight on his shoulders he-and his family-feels everyday.
I applaud your bravery.
Quote by tyracer
another very different set of opinions.
Its a tough balance handing down a sentence which is the right one.
We shout sometimes dont we, when on the news you hear about someone getting a short stay in prison for a nasty crime.
I can still remember how people like huntly and shipman paraded in front of the cameras behaving like they had done nothing its that sort of behavior that chills me.
I also remember dennis Nielsen and the horrible things he did to others.
Who can forget the yorkshire ripper yet we keep these people locked up in luxury and surely that cannot be right.
For me If the death penalty was to be imposed a person would spend time locked up while a review body went over everything in the case.
Then another totally independent review board would again look at the case.
If then and only then the evidence was 100% that person should be put to death.
The wishes of the victims family must be taken into consideration and they would have the power to reduce the sentence to life without parole if they so wished.
Of course evidence can be tempered with and people fitted have seen miscarriages before and they are regrettable.
but when its the huntly's,shipman's and Nielsen's of the world can we not save the tax payers money and rid ourselves of these monsters?.
Thanks for all your comments.
