just thought i'd pipe up and say, i do not believe the majority of people support the reintroduction of the death penalty in the UK (though i can't back that up with any stats so if anyone knows where to find a recent and unbias survey/report that would be great). I for one would never support such a move as it is a step backward in our development as a society, it does not act as a deterent, and if you wanted a pure economic reason it is not the cheaper option as some people say as there is appeal and appeal in america and costs millions on legal fees before 15 years later or so the switch is pulled. Basically it does not and cannot be used in a civilised and forward thinking society, it is not just that i don't believe in taking another life but if just one innocent is killed that would be too much to bear... if the death penalty was reintroduced would you be able to prep the convict, talk to him before the act and then pull the switch - i don't think many could
I've been appalled at how many innocent people have been convicted over the last 35 years, and having been on jury service I can see why it happens.
The jury system is seriously flawed.
However if someone can come up with a foolproof system where only the guilty are convicted I will be happy to be the next hangman.
I will praise the Americans for giving life sentences that mean life, however. I'm fed up reading about convicted killers walking free after 15 or 20 years and starting their lives afresh. Many of these men are still only in their early 40's.
That offends me!!!
We have proved that if you lock up an offender for life, he can never hurt anyone else, there is no need to kill him.
and of course with our hopeless system when you find out 10 years from now he wasn't responsible for the crime you can let him go.
As opposed to digging him up and saying sorry.
Latecomer - i do not know to which case you are refering, i do not know of a convicted murderer being released and then murdering again, whereas I can quote you many cases where innocents have been convicted for crime that could have earnt them a death sentence under old legislation or for that matter people executed in the past under some seriously dodgy evidence and trials... it was for this reason that the death penalty was repealed, and its probably why support of the death penalty is waning in the states. Steps forward people not back. I am still certain that the majority of people do not support the reintroduction of the death penalty (this is at times of common reasoning rather than when emotions are high following a terribel crime).
hey Latecomer - maybe i'm a wuss but I'm a bit uncomfortable with fighting fire with fire - the girlfriend, and the firebrigade, are still angry with me after i tried it last year when we had a chip-pan fire - though i have nearly finished rebuilding the kitchen now (",)
anyhoo bring on the revolution - the streets will run with the blood of the whinging liberals ... oops might have got carried away - shall be start with a referendum :)
This sentence is absurd and deters no one, the young thugs and criminals of today weren't born when this man was found guilty, so how can this possibly be a deterrant?
