Every case should be judged on it’s own terms,most criminals get more protection from the system [ie: holiday camp prisons] than the victim ever get’s.
Once proven 100% guilty [by todays investgative and forensic abilities]
Bullet to the back of the head job done no re offending.
Yes over the years people have been hanged when innocent But usually they have been found innocent when new abilities have been introduced sometimes years later. If this happens i feel immensly sorry for the wrongly accused and the surviving family and friends.
At the same time many people found guilty of murder have had a sentance imposed which in no ones right mind could be considered fair or just and some of which have gone on to commit murder again.
Mistakes will be made no matter what system is in place,death penalty or no death penalty and as SkyHigh said everyone will have apersonal reasons which will bend their descion in some way.
For the record
Child molesters, murderers Death
Rapists Death
Murderers Death
The last is dependant on different criteria which can have a bearing on the individual cases and need to be decided by better people than me [prefrebly a justice system backed by a goverment with a backbone]
And yes if anyone of my family or friends fell into one of those three catogories [god forbid] i would accept that they need to be punished.
And also if they were wrongly convicted i would fight like hell to get the conviction overturned before sentance was carried out.
Society has rules which wether we agree with them should be obeyed it’s not perfect but neither are we.
I beleive [however naively ] that more rightly convicted would die than wrongly convicted given todays forensic science.
And considering todays mess of a world i personally am willing to accept this.
