It can seem tempting at times, but I wouldn’t bring it back. Mistakes have been made in the past and will continue to be made.

That is the difference between us and murderers. We don’t take life.

State sanctioned murder. We don't do it. It's the start of a slippery slope.

As much as my feelings have been challenged down the years I still hold this view.

You have faced this situation ?

In many cases the death penalty would be a far easier punishment than a prison term.

Why make it easy for an offender?

Life sentence should mean exactly that.

Life sentence should mean exactly that.

Perhaps to begin, but there must be the opportunity for rehabilitation.

Given the news today about one of our own this sort of trolliing thread seems a bit inappropriate.

Given modern forensics, if they can prove a case without any shadow of a doubt and the crime is so sickening it deserves nothing less, than I think we should!

I can see why in certain cases this is an appealing option (child murder, terrorism) but sooner or later a mistake would be made. VAR seemed a good idea on the PowerPoint slides......
Life should just mean life and with no comforts.

I don't know how I would feel if a loved one was murdered. The tax paid to upkeep these scum also annoys me. Overall however, for reasons already mentioned I am against it.

Agree.

Also, I don't hold with cold blooded killing of fellow humans outside of defensive war.

As I used to say, if someone hurt a member of my family I would want them dead, and would go for them myself given a reasonable chance of success, but I'd expect the laws and indeed the mores of society to nip all that in the bud.

The correct answer to savagery isn't more savagery.

With virtually every incident which hits the headlines, there always seems to a campaign for tougher sentences for that particular crime.
Whenever this involves a loss of life, no sentence will ever seem fair to those close to the person who has died, as they have to spend the rest of their lives without the friendship from the person killed.
What is required is a Government that does just increase sentences on a whim, but a process which produces sentences that deter but also give opportunities for rehabilitation.

A death sentence gives no opportunity for release where new evidence comes to light many years after the sentence has been handed down, also if applies to terrorists, it may actually be counter productive as martyr status may be achieved thereby gaining more followers to the terrorists beliefs.

Hopefully this country will never reintroduce the death penalty.

Which costs us thousands ..Hang the ****er !

I understand where you are coming from, but if it's wrong to take a life how can it then be right that justice is to take a life...?

And as has been said, mistakes have been made...
