For extremely serious crimes where the guilt and circumstances of the crime are clear-cut, then yes, I agree. In my mind, those extremely serious criminals are repeated serious sex offenders and the heads of major drug operations and organized crime syndicates. |

But you must take into account the fact that many incarcerated for murder, sex crimes, etc. are innocent or their trial was not up to scratch in parts. It is a difficult question that requires a lot of thought. Ultimately it's about faith in your legal system. When there's serious holes (present in most) you should think carefully about this issue... |

I believe that people with no remorse or repeated offenders can be put to the death penalty. But for example in one case inn America, a 19 year old boy gets really drunk and unknowingly sneaks into a persons home and kills a 20 year old lady. He gets sentenced to death and dies 3 years later. |

I actually did take this into account, when I said...
If there is any doubt with the verdict of the trial, or any redeeming features in the circumstances of the crime and the criminal, then the death penalty is inappropriate. |

One must also ask the question of power, as the death penalty is essentially (after due-course) putting an organisation in charge of determining someones life. Just putting it out there, as it seems to be the main argument from anti-DP activists. The argument doesn't necessarily hold up, when properly probed. Yes, I said probed. |
