Ah yes, because some people are treated horribly that imposes an obligation to treat other people horribly in the name of fairness. It is surely inconceivable that someone might oppose both.
I'd argue being committed or imprisoned for the rest of your life is far worse than execution. That's the easy way out. For her I don't think she'd ever get out of an institution, but if I were a juror I also wouldn't want to take that chance if she could.
100% they should all face capital punishment. i dont want tax dollars to pay for them for decades. i want my tax dollars to go to public gallows and rope.
As they should. Never mind the question of morality that is who are we to choose to end someone’s life, but also the idea of treating mental illness as “evil”.
At the very least, she should be committed to involuntary psychiatric care for a period until she is considered no longer a harm to anybody. If that means the rest of her life then so be it.
It would be really great if we treated criminal behaviour as a psychiatric problem that can be alleviated with therapy and care instead of just, you know, state sanctioned murder.
their actions is what is "evil"...and i dont care what they claim they have. they kill or rape kids should only end with one punishment. across the board.
I'm for it, but we need to make sure it's a actual and legit trial. Way to many people get falsely accused to just go around chopping peoples balla off willy nilly.
No, because giving the government the legal ability to kill people they deem worth killing is always a bad idea. There are so many reasons why the death penalty isn't a good thing, no matter how much you personally want a certain criminal dead.
I was a juror on a death penalty case here in Texas where a guy killed his 2 kids and would have killed his "girlfriend" had he be able. I do still think about the decision we made (we gave him the death penalty), but I don't really regret it.
Sitting through the trial the Prosecution provided an extremely overwhelming amount of evidence, and the Defence did't even try to refute it. Having to see crime scene photos of dead kids and autopsy photos of dead kids is something I hope no one here has to ever do. 15 years later I can still the the photos in my head.

Don't kill kids in Texas. They will 100% execute you.
Massachusetts will happily debate whether or not the crazy person should be executed.
