slugshooter Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Re: Death Penalty If they are remorseful for their crime I think they should sit in prison and think about it for the rest of their lives, if they show no emotion whatsoever i.e. Scott Peterson, then they should go ahead and take care of it.

fisherguy Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Re: Death Penalty [ QUOTE ] If they are remorseful for their crime I think they should sit in prison and think about it for the rest of their lives, if they show no emotion whatsoever i.e. Scott Peterson, then they should go ahead and take care of it. [/ QUOTE ] Good point slugshooter, i personall still lean towards execution, but it should matter if they are remorseful. I really hate to think that there are people who get life in prison and don't even feel bad for their crimes and victims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Sauceman Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Re: Death Penalty I could kill someone then and "fake" remorse and just sit on jail the rest of my life... That is like everyone in prison says they aer innocent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Re: Death Penalty JMO But I really dont think remorse should have anything to do with it. If a person deliberately killed another in cold blood and is without a doubt guilty that person should not be spared because of their after thoughts.

BLH Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Re: Death Penalty I agree with slugshooter, he has a good point. I don't think those that deserve death should get to wait years and years before their execution; I think if the evidence is conclusive enough for a death sentence, the criminal should be taken directly to the chair or chamber the same day or week, not 20 or 25 years down the road.

slugshooter Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: Death Penalty Scott Peterson will likely sit in prison for life even with the death penalty. California has the longest appeals process. Unfortunately I think it will be commuted to life in the appeals process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Dont think they should wait either. Like the idea Texas seems to be going with in having an express lane . Unfortunately I do however disagree with sluggo about his remorse idea he posted about. Just dont think it should have any bearing on whether a killer is executed or not based on their after thoughts after they have taken innocent human lives. Feeling emotions after killing may make them seem human in some ways, but a taker of human lives is still an animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: Death Penalty The main problems I have with the current death penalty is that it is too expensive, slow, not used enough and needs to be expanded. These people should die. 1. Murderes- Obviously 2. Serial Rapist- Some men have made mistakes, others have made it a habbit. 3. Child molesters- If they've done it once I think they will do it again. When you rape a child you ruin their life, you should then forfit yours. 4. Big Drug dealers/ manufacturers. How many people do they kill every day. 5. Terrorist. If there is more than 1 eyewitness, vidio, or 100% DNA evidence then no apeals. If not than 1 apeal not to last longer than the original trial. When sentence his handed down then it is carried out. Public hangings or firing squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotupdeer Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: Death Penalty [ QUOTE ] 4. Big Drug dealers/ manufacturers. How many people do they kill every day. [/ QUOTE ]Disagree on that in the sense that the crime is not violent. Now if said drug dealer has executed people Pablo Escobar style, death is deserved. Basically, I think if it can be proven with DNA evidence, death is appropriate. If not, then it shouldn't. DNA evidence has already acquitted many deth row inmates, and imo one innocent man in jail or executed is too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: Death Penalty Could not agree more with John on his reply here. And also agree that drug dealers should also be executed. Make examples of those with capital punishment. They kill indirectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
