Capital punishment: death penalty
RP: changed opinion on death penalty. issued unjustly. econimic disparity. DNA evidence shows too many mistakes. opposed.
BB: culture of life. culture recognizes every life. limit to cases where cannot protect individual from society. Limited use (OBL)
TomT: it is a state issue. support for treason. there must be appropriate penalty for certain crimes
Hunter: serves deterent purpose (not sure this is statistically true). deters some people and for that reason dealing with worst of the worst is necessary (not sure that’s true either)
Ak: it’s about respect for life. send signal. blacks kill most blacks, when kill we take seriously. not cheapen seriousness of that. dispatch that to ruler of us all. Seriously, I like this guy.
Huckabee: dislike it, had to carry it out. Did it b/c only conclusion based on what he reviewed. Not cavalier about it. necessary part of crim justice sys.
