      Sometimes there’s absolutely no way to correct a persons attitude that’s a danger to society. Incarcerating them is the first step – but for how long , and at what point are you flogging an already dead horse ?

      On the other hand , evidence against an individual can be insufficient or doctored with , or simply be subject to emotional distraction and lead towards the wrong decision. Perhaps if Jurors and the presiding Judge were also held accountable in future for miscarriages of Justice then … more careful thought over the “Death sentence” would exist – and then they may actually think it’s not worth the risk! Since their own lives would be on the line .. should they make a mistake ?

      No evidence is good enough to support such an irreversible act. Even if the evidence is incontrovertible, killing them make you just as bad.

      If we want to proclaim ourselves civilised, there is no way we can continue with such a barbaric system.

      Complex and controversial topic.

      Blackstone Ratio : « better to let 10 guilty free than one innocent be punished »

      Stats on crime and recidivism. Releasing a violent offender in the general population is often punishing his unknown future victim. At least statistically.

      Can’t have pre-crime, but lifetime persistent re-offenders do exist and they’re a scourge on society.

      Bad. The state should never be allowed to tell the citizen when they are to die, it’s by definition an expression of a totalitarian relationship between the state and the citizen. Every state that has the death penalty has and eventually will put innocents to death.

      Does it have to be by hanging? And the way they only inform death row inmates of the execution date on the actual day is torture
