When should somebody get the death penalty?
|
The death penalty fulfills societies need for revenge and does not serve to execute justice. The other countries of the world that have the death penalty are Sudan, Iran, China, Burma amongst other similar associates. Are these really the nations we want to stand with? The death penalty is a long outdated and barbaric system that needs to be done away with. Also, I'd say that life imprisonment is much worse, in actuality, and it's 8x cheaper as well. ;] Side: never
If you kill, a child, another human or a puppy you should get the death penalty. If in the course of a crime (Robbery, B&E;, etc.) you kill a child, another human or a puppy you should get the death penalty. If you harm a child in any unnatural way you should get the death penalty. Side: never

Actually, your statement is utterly false. It is many more times expensive to execute someone than to house them for the rest of their lives. This is due to the arduous legal process and numerous appeals any death row inmate is entitled to. Each appeal can cost upwards of $275,000...as an example, the execution of Ted Bundy in Florida costed nearly $5 million. In actuality, and I dare you to present evidence that states otherwise, an execution can cost anywhere from five to ten times as much as life imprisonment. Side: never
