Just my $0.02, but I believe the death penalty ought to be in play for any crime in which the victim would have been justified in resisting with lethal force. In such cases, it is the criminal that has placed the value of his own life below the fruits of the crime. That is not to say that capital punishment ought to be sought or applied in all such cases, but prosecutors ought to have it as an option. Again, jmho.
100% correct. That could be a lot of death penalties, and I’d be okay with that.
