The Death Penalty is way, way in front of this Poll.

84% for death penalty. I don’t think that is what Twtpoll had in mind.

Frankly, I think capital punishment is in order for any crime in which the victim would have been justified using deadly force to resist. In such cases, the criminal has himself, subordinated the value of his life to the fruits of the crime.

My only reluctance with the death penalty has nothing to do with misgivings about its suitability, but rather with prosecutors like Nifong or Spitzer who, IMHO, would have no problem seeking it solely for political ends.

Agreed.

In non-premeditated cases, I probably would move to just time in prison.

Premeditated cases though....death all the way. Heck, I would give repeat rapists the death penalty as well.

Force prominent liberal activists to take the offender into their homes. There’s punishment to be had both ways.

Making little rocks out of big ones.

Trouble with the Death Penalty is all the years and legal expenses intended to make certain we only execute the truly guilty.

For these two alleged murderers---this is the perfect punishment..

Have Drew Petersen(wife murderer) marry Casey Anthony(daughter killer) and we could possibly save hundreds of thousands of dollars in housing and feeding these two imps.

Hanging - environmentally friendly, energy efficient and the rope can be recycled.

I like that.
