electrocution, lethal injection or no death penalty?

Question

I think electrocution is absolutely the best way to deter murderers, premeditated or not.

what are your feelings. You dont have to agree with me to win best answer, just be honest.

Answer 1

TORTURE TO THE DEATH!!!!!
all those damn murderers, rapist, kidnappers, child molesters,
they put people through hell! they kill someone for no reason!
they take away someone love one. they rape little kids! those ***-hoes! they rape young innocent kids and kill them.
innocent people die because their stupid actions. they need to be tortured! they put their victim in pain and their family's victim as well.
first find out if they are guilty. then if they are.... get a professional at torturing and torture them until they beg for a bullet in the head.
but you just keep going until they feel the pain. until they feel what the victim was going through. until they are dead!
THAT'S MY OPINION.

Answer 2

To deter? There's absolutley no way to deter murder through the death penalty. Study after study has shown no correlation between a state having the death penalty and the number of murders.

To be honest, if you support the death penalty for deterrance, you're supporting a false idea. The only possible justification for the death penalty is retribution- the idea that those convicted of murder "have it coming to them." While that's an accepted idea in our justice system, I can't support it so long as the possibility of putting an innocent person to death exists.

Answer 3

No reason for anyone to be inhumane. Lethal injection is the most humane method we have. Electrocution can be very bad. Neither one is a deterrent because so few expect to caught or prosecuted. Unfortunately, a very small number of innocent people have been wrongly convicted and executed in the past, but modern forensics (including use of DNA), and better law enforcement and judicial procedures in general have not pretty well eliminated this and is now freeing some people on death row.

Answer 4

I think lethal injection. I don't think the way the death penalty is carried out is much of a deterrent these days since it takes 15 or 20 years to get it done half the time. The reason I favor the death penalty is so that person will never commit that crime again.

Answer 5

As for those on death row , One week should be there maximum life expectancy. I think that each one should be put to sleep,and never to be worked up . As soon as they are under then a team of doctors remove all human parts for donor parts. If some one need a heart transplant there is now one to use . If some one need a eye or any body part they should remove it. Then after all parts that can be used are removed then drain out all the blood . There are blood banks out there that could use it . But any part and all parts that they can give should be used. I think this is the only way that a death row inmate should meet there death. this way they can give back for all that they have taken .I know it sounds hard , but it is only fair.

Answer 6

Firing squad is far cheaper, and just as effective. Bullets (depending on size and type) are ~$1 each or less.

I don't think the method of execution is a deterrent. Only the punishment being carried out is deterrent. Last year there were 16,000+ murders. There were only 60 executions. It is not a deterrent now, because nobody takes it seriously. If there were 16,000 executions, to match the murders, then it would actually work as a deterrent.

Answer 7

No death penalty at all, please.

A woman's name was fairly recently (last year, I think) cleared of murder, sixty years after the death penalty had been carried out; she was innocent.

This should never be allowed to happen. Juries are fallible one way or the other. Perhaps for every guilty person set free there is an innocent one put to death.

Answer 8

I recently saw a show on T.V. (I believe the History Channel) where a man was executed for killing over fifty people. He was given a trial and sentenced to death. He was shot through the back of the head. A 10 cent bullet was all that was needed. This was in Russia and i agree with their justice in this case. Why waste time and money to rid society of these people on death roe? They deserve nothing better than,"10 cents".

Answer 9

Kill em all, I don't give a crap how they do it.. but I think the court systems should re-enstate the death penalty for sex offensers.. f***ing perverts!! There, anyway, yeah I'm all for the death penalty, if the facts are there to support that decision and their punishment fits the crime. Never good to kill an innocent man/woman.

Answer 10

I don't think the dealth penalty does squat except satisfy some primal urge to kill each other.

States that have the dealth penality have higher murder rates then states that don't. People who kill each other arnt afraid to die.

And everytime the state makes a mistake...it's murder done by every single resident of that state.

Criminals suck. Throw them in jail.

Answer 11

I dont like the idea of the death penalty, i think all killing is wrong. but i do think they should rot in prison for the rest of their lives and never be released back into the general public.
