death penalty?

Question

how many of you think the death penalty to should be done within a months time instead of letting people sit on death row for years and years, taking up our tax dollars to support them. that makes me so mad, and it would free up jails to hold other criminals. just a thought and would like to know what you all think. thanks for answering!!

Answer 1

Actually I think we should put any one who has the death penalty in a lab. From the day they are supposed to be scheduled to die. On that day they should be considered dead to the world and go to a lab to help with cures for us from very deadly virus's and disease. Why should we test on defenseless monkeys and apes?
If the person years later turns up innocent at least he would have done done something to help people. Also its a way for them to give back for the un just things they have done.

Answer 2

Did you know that of the 124 innocent people released from death rows, 51 had already served well over a decade? Speeding up the process will guarantee we execute innocent people.

You may also be surprised to know that the death penalty costs much more than life in prison, largely because of the legal costs. Why is this so?

The death penalty is costs much more because, under the Constitution, a long and very complicated process is required. Pre trial costs are much greater because, once a suspect is caught, the prosecutor must do an into the mental health history of the suspect himself. If the prosecutor decides to seek the death penalty, the trial will have two separate phases, one to decide guilt, one to decide the penalty. The process of choosing jurors (they must be “death qualified) is much more complicated in death penalty cases. Many more pre-trial motions are filed by both sides and have to be answered. Prosecution teams use more lawyers, and where the money is available, by the defense as well. Death penalty cases take much longer to try. It is only at this point that appeals begin and the costs to continue to mount up. You should also know that the overwhelming number of cases where the death penalty is not on the table end in plea bargains.

As an example, in New York State, the average annual cost to incarcerate someone not on death row is about $35,000 per year. On the other hand, in the years since 1995, when New York State brought back a death penalty law, 7 people were sentenced to death, none had more than one appeal and 3 had not even had their first appeal. New York shelled out well over $200,000,000 for its capital punishment system since 1995. Assuming each of the 7 men lives for 40 years the cost to incarcerate all of them for life would be under 10 million dollars.

If the death penalty process were speeded up, the costs would still be much higher than with life sentences and many innocent men who were on death row for years would have been killed in our names.

Answer 3

If the are repeat child sex offenders < YES !!! One week tops !!! Other wise they should be given some time. Not years but some time so that if they are not guilty they can prove it.

Answer 4

I think a month is too soon, especially on a case where they have the wrong person convicted. That has happened.

Answer 5

no, that's not the correct approach, since some on death row have been proven to be innocent.

Answer 6

If they've been sentenced, they should get one week to make amends and pray. After that week is up, their life should be ended.

Answer 7

i think a year is good, but you are right we should hurry the proses a little

Answer 8

There, but for the grace of God, go I.

Answer 9
