Yea, but with your last statement it is still murder and deserves the death sentence. You had a choice to crash in the tree at 25 mph which wouldn't probably kill you.

Manslaughter and murder are two different things. I think the death penalty should only apply to homicide with malice a forethought and voluntary manslaughter. Gross negligence and involuntary manslaughter should not be given death, as the person didn't intend to do harm by their own will.

"If you purposely take a life then your life should be taken." That person didn't intentionally kill them. Yes it could kill you.
Yea, but now you are changing your original statement.

Life for a life; if someone has physically and mentally ruined someone's life then their life should be taken.

Then I clarifies remember? "Should I clarify? If you purposely take a life then your life should be taken. If your intentions were to kill someone that day you deserve to die.Even if it's the wrong person ex. your bullet missed and hit someone else you should still get the death penalty."

Yea, but which is more torturous. Dying quick and easy with no pain or spending 60 years in prison which you can't do anything.
People who are serving like should just be killed, it's putting more of a strain on the government to keep them in there for 60 years than to just kill them.

Who the fuck cares death penalty doesn't have to support a killer with food water and other supplies to live for 60 years. DP takes 10 years.

Oh yea, I forgot about that part where it does take 10 years before you get killed.


Yea, but what happens if you never did it, but people and officials said you purposely killed them.

Example:
Johnny Garrett of Texas was executed February, 1992, for allegedly raping and murdering a nun. In March, 2004, cold-case DNA testing identified Leoncio Rueda as the rapist and murderer of another elderly victim killed four months prior.[16] Immediately following the nun's murder, prosecutors and police were certain the two cases were committed by the same assailant.[17] In both cases, black curly head hairs were found on the victims, linked to Rueda. Previously unidentified fingerprints in the nun's room were matched to Rueda. The flawed case is explored in a 2008 documentary entitled The Last Word.

I don't want to play the "if" game. We were talking about someone purposely killing not someone getting blamed for killing. Two different scenarios once again.

This is such a generic, but yet so common debate. Of course the death penalty is acceptable for those that have taken a life or lives.

But you must consider the hundreds that have been exonerated from death row for being innocent after being found guilty and the hundreds of innocent people that have been killed. It makes me wonder how well most murder cases are investigated.

The death sentence is not acceptable. It is more expensive, solves nothing, and is extremely immoral.

The death penalty is certainly acceptable for cases in which a life or lives have been taken. I do, however, sympathize for the innocent who have been wrongfully executed on death row. That is without a doubt a problem in need of fixing.

That makes sense.

Let's kill someone who killed someone because we think killing someone is immoral. It's beyond illogical.

Okay. They are similar, but I had only looked at Solar's post. I hadn't even reached your post yet.

I'm not completely supporting one side or the other. However, I'll give you an example. A serial killer has murdered a total of ten victims, including men, women, and children. If he happened to be caught and incarcerated, I don't see an issue with sentencing him capital punishment as opposed to allowing him to spend the rest of his life in prison. I'm sure that the families of those victims would probably feel the same way.

Don't get me wrong, though. I do see where you're coming from.

The issue is that you yourself are committing an extremely immoral act in an attempt to put justice on someone who perpetrated the very act that you are committing by punishing him for that act. The families of the victims have an altered perspective, and thus shouldn't be consulted for what they think is just. For example, the family of a victim of a drunk driver would probably love to sentence that man to death, but that doesn't make it moral.
