Wayne Couzens Should Be Hung For The Cold Blooded Murder Of Sarah Everard

[gollob]

Bring back hanging, why should ratepayers pay to keep him alive for the rest of his life which will cost millions

[pixie374]

17:50, pp, I don't think you could have read that. How many criminals, who have been executed, went on to murder again? My guess, is... none.

[Redhelen72]

There have been several high profile cases were innocent people have confessed to crimes they didn’t commit because the police bullied them into it.
I am not saying that is the case here

[Peter Pedant]

murderers who murder again
five apparently since 1967
5% ? no five...

all the irish terrorist (mainland) bombers - all. - Big sea change in the law (PACE) - the only ones who had done anything were the Balcombe St gang who were released under Good Friday agreet

and Couzens.... did anyone notice ? - was questioned in his house and it was recorded on a phone.... not very pacey was it?

Nice insp Fulcher had the conviction he secured, overturned as a result of that .....

[gollob]

I just wonder if all the people on here against CP would have the same opinion if the victim was a daughter or sister of their family. Lets hear from you

[pixie374]

PP... how many "executed" murderers,....?

[pixie374]

Actually, I don't think that's relevant, gollob. That kind of decision needs to be rational and sensible..... not made by people who are justifiably angry and upset.

In light of the furore the initial abduction caused in the capital I would opine that it is very relevant
Look at the predatory murder of the young teacher only days ago !
Every male on here must at some point following a heinous crime such as this have it cross their mind:
What if this sort of horror happened to my mum
My sister
My aunt
My daughter
Her family will have the mental torture of guessing the unimaginable terror as she was defiled prior to having the life squeezed out of her
Imagine your female relative undergoing such fear as they kicked and begged for their life ?
Now tell me again why Couzens does not deserve to die by lethal injection ?

[pixie374]

He does deserve it, sb. I'm saying that making it personal is unnecessary. It doesn't need to be you, your sister, daughter... we can all relate to other humans.

[douglas9401]

Every male? Some maybe but many are able to read and digest without dwelling on the horror and bringing it home.

[ichkeria]

We can alll argue till the cows come home about who might "deserve" this and that, but as previously stated, for many reasond, capital punishment is not returning, so it's all irrelevant, regardless of the feelings.
As pixie says are not, and should not, be passed on emotion. Which is largely what this is about. I'm at a loss to see why, objectively, WC's crime is any more deserving of the death penalty than any other murder, understandable as the feelings it inspires are.

[THECORBYLOON]

GOLLOB, how would you feel if a close member of your family were executed but later proven to be innocent?

[gollob]

WHAt a crap answer. He has admitted that he committed this awful crime

[THECORBYLOON]

If you meant "the victim" as in the victim in this case, that was not clear to me.

[andy-hughes]

gollob - // I just wonder if all the people on here against CP would have the same opinion if the victim was a daughter or sister of their family. Lets hear from you //

Sooner or later, this question is always raised on a thread like this, and my answer is always the same -

I would probably change my view to one in favour of CP, and please can I pull the lever / throw the switch, cut him up with a rusty tin lid etc etc ......

But until that happens, my view is objective, and will remain so.

[andy-hughes]

Stickybottle - // Now tell me again why Couzens does not deserve to die by lethal injection ? //

What a murderer 'deserves' is determined by the amount of emotional involvement of the person making the decision.

That's why laws are written and enacted by peole who are not emotionally involved - because emotion does not make good laws.

[wildrover]

let him rot in the " nonces " wing of a top security prison until he dies,his life will be pure hell on earth,hated by all and a target on his back for life! he will wish he had been hanged every day until he dies (or is murdered) not even hardened criminals will tolerate a raping,murdering cop!

[Mozz71]

Not only is Couzens a rapist and murderer, he's an ex copper. He'd be wishing he'd been executed many times over the next 40-odd years.

[Mozz71]

Wildrover- looks like you beat me to it! :-)
