Death Penalty - Execution method poll

[n423]

Hanging or firing squad. Would let the victim and/or victims families have input in methods of execution.

Remember though that there's no going back once you've executed someone. You can't say, "Oops, sorry about the prosecutorial misconduct and wrongful conviction. Here's your life back."

public hanging, that would detour the thugs and crooks that are sitting on the fence of being good or bad

I support the death penalty but didn't vote simply because the method of death really doesn't matter to me. I've served on a jury that gave a guy the death penalty and I can say from first hand experience that it's harder than most people think..To say how you feel is a lot different than actually voting to kill someone. It's something that laid on my mind for several weeks and then returned the day he was put to death. I still remember the feeling and will never serve on another murder trial.

I respect the fact you did your duty for your fellow citizens.

Yes, the defendant should definitely get due process. He should be duly tried, and if convicted duly heard on appeal, and if the conviction is affirmed, he should be duly hanged.

I am a supporter of the death penalty but there has to be a high standard for capital punishment. Hard physical evidence, confession, multiple eyewitnesses, etc. None of the wife disappears so the husband must be guilty because the investigators have no clue kind of business. Cases that are open and shut should be expedited to reduce costs and usher closure to the victims family.

As for method, I am perfectly fine with lethal injection. Recently, they have had trouble sourcing the drug "approved" by the courts. As far as I know, there is plenty of suitable drugs at every vet office in the state.

Give A dull spoon to a mass murderer and lock the two of them in the same room.

Eye for an eye. Death for the offender in the manner that they caused the death that got them death.

Hang them once a month. Just like in the old days. Let families bring a picnic lunch and show the kids what happens to people who hurt others.

JB, doesn't seem to care, with this type of human scum.....let's party and have some qualified member throw a lever and or do some shooting!
