I only support it in cases where A) guilt is established not just beyond a reasonable doubt, but any doubt whatsoever, and B) the circumstances are heinous enough to warrant it.

I believe both metrics are satisfied in this case.
 
I don’t support the death penalty. I think Nietzsche’s “gaze long enough into the abyss”applies.
 
Like others in this thread, I don't support the death penalty. It has no place in a civilized society.

I'm not a proponent of the death penalty...but as far as a 'civilized' punishment for crime, its no less uncivil than imposing a life sentence to solitary confinement in a supermax prison OR letting violent murderers live in prison where they have demonstrated a will and ability to kill other inmates and attack guards.

But as I said...I'd be fine with life in prison with his new bestest buddies.
 
No.

I support a fine and a stern talking-to.
 
No
IMO - death penalty should only be for the most heinous crimes against another.
If he kidnapped the man, tortured him to death in front of his family - then yeah.
Actually, I think actual solitary confinement with no entertainment until death should be the ultimate punishment.

Maybe live stream it as they go slowly mad.

There’s a reason that is considered cruel and unusual and the death penalty isn’t.

But it would likely be a better deterrent than the threat of dying quick.

There are basically two alternatives in dealing with a convicted murderer. One can be overturned if new evidence comes to light, the other cannot.
 
Simply not true. Death as a punishment is anything but unusual. It has existed for millennia.

The way it is implemented makes it unusual. For Federal capital cases, the Attorney General must decide to seek it, and the jury has to unanimous in imposing it during sentencing. That makes it different from non-capital cases, even when the crime is identical. There was a time we'd hang guys for stealing a horse, but we've advanced past that. We don't need frontier justice anymore.

I get that, which is why I say it should be reserved only for the most heinous of crimes. Truly evil.
 
What of the murder of united health’s victims? United health contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. *shrugs*
 
I don’t support the death penalty for anybody
Right, neither do I. When the state says that killing a person is the ultimate crime and then proceeds to commit that ultimate crime against someone else, it is hyprocrisy at its highest level.

And it is unusual in a way. Of the hundreds or thousands of killers annually and execute a few of them. If we were serious, we’d execute more. It’s lottery fixed by race of the victim, as until recently, the US had not executed a White for killing a Black. Most likely to die - you guessed it - a Black who killed a white. I tem miner a speech by an anti-DP activist in Nebraska I believe, who said that the big urban counties didn’t favor executions as much as the smaller, poorer ones, which didn’t want to spend the $ necessary to deal with trials and appeals.
 
I don't support the death penalty for anyone, full stop. Because gubmint is corrupt, inefficient, and corrupt.

Or because I'm a filthy kommanyst that hates Murica, Donald, and Baby Jesus.
 
The number of Americans who have been wrongfully convicted that we know about causes me to oppose the death penalty.

Stick his ass in general population after he's convicted. He'll be in solitary within a month, and that will be his world for decades.
 
Link: Federal prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione in UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday that she has directed prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, following through on the president’s campaign promise to vigorously pursue capital punishment...

Good.

It it is clear an on video and irrefuatable... 100%. Fry the ****er. Otherwise, there is too much room for error.

So being put to death when innocent is bad locking him up for life and in with the rapists, etc, when innocent... is fine?
