I still want to know why you can’t just hang these clowns or shoot them in the back of the head?
The LA Times editorialized against capital punishment again too. The liberals make it impossible to carry out executions in a timely fashion and then use the fact that the appeals drag on for decades as an argument for abolishing the death penalty entirely.
They always claim they want to replace the death penalty with life in prison. My question is, what about multiple murderers? They can only serve one life term no matter how many people they kill. So, essentially, what incentive do they have not to kill as many people as possible?
Secondly, say your convicted murderer doing life kills another inmate, or a guard? What’s the punishment? Take away his dessert?
Thirdly, prosecutors frequently use the death penalty as leverage with criminals. They offer to take it off the table in exchange for cooperation, etc. What are they supposed to work with if they no longer have that option?
I never get a satisfactory answer to these questions.
