“We would be better off not caring so much.........”
In the “old days”, we just hung ‘em.
Yeah. That would be okay if we didn’t drag it out for years. Thankfully the very thing the people on the left count of to shock folks about the injustice of the death penalty, relatively inexpensive genetics testing and ever improving forensics techniques, will actually make the death penalty MORE palatable going forward because there will be greater confidence in convictions.
Not having a death penalty for crimes which actually merit it, like premeditated murder, is barbaric.
