i am not opposed to the death penalty. it would depend on the crimes or crimes.
It is because i know that sexual predators, particularly of children, and serial killers, cannot be cured. Never ever.
I have seen and read of too much evil out there. One can be forgiven, but one must still pay a penalty to society. To the families of decedent. humble opinion. based on so many telling me that the death of the perp gave them a lot of closure.
I sure would never have let myself get involved in a death penalty case. Way too much at stake.
Twenty years ago? I was opposed to the death penalty. But, there is clearly evil in this world. And, if their death gives comfort to the surviving family? Then I would allow the family the right to see perp executed.
It still horrifies me a bit. But, I listen to the family and their peace convinces me that perhaps it was the correct decision.
Usually though, I feel the perpetrator is dying far more easier than he let the poor five yr old girl he raped and tortured and killed. A case I was appointed to. For example. If one follows the autopsies, one knows how much the victim suffered.
I won't promote death penalty. But, if a state has it in motion now, I have often wondered why some scum were not sentenced to same.
Confusing enough? Because I do take life so seriously. It could be born of an eye for an eye mentality i grew up with.
