Our jails are overpopulated, cost a shitload of money, and "rehabilate" very few. Not to mention that we have a backlog of criminals on death row filing appeal after appeal....It doesn't take a degree to figure that if you committ a crime and get a slap on the wrist, you will do it again....if victims could speak from beyond the grave, I wonder if they would advocate life or death for their murderers....nonetheless...I believe in the death penalty...I also believe in life in prison without possibility of parole EVER as an alternative (all states should exercise this option to the maximum potential)....
In Britain our legal system is way more stringent than most other countries..
hence i believe that in certain circumstances it is justified - Robert Black killed 3 small girls in the 80's and was convicted for a 4th today.
Can ANYONE justify keeping this sorry excuse for a human alive ? If you try to argue in favour of forgiveness or clemency then i suggest you meet the grieving relative of a victim of violent crime - i have and its not a pleasant experience, i know as i've done it. Wake up, a single years care for Black could but ten - yes ten - new hips..
Sorry but in a case such as Blacks...nothing short of the final penalty should be considered.
do you agree with the death penalty?
