Yes, but for child sex offences and animal abuse and cruelty and sex offences against animals.

Only if it’s a horrific crime with undeniable evidence AND permission from the criminal for the death penalty as it’s their body

There has to be undeniable proof, too many mistakes have happened previously. Either that or prisons need sorting as not enough space for criminals as is.

 @9L757Y5answered…9mos9MO

No, I feel that inflicting death on any human is hypocritical as a punishment, saying that nobody can kill as it is a cardinal sin, but then going and killing the person who killed. In my eyes that would mean anybody involved in the decision of the death sentence would also then be described as murderers.

 @9M24XHFanswered…8mos8MO

No but laws should be stricter and horrific crimes with undeniable evidence criminals should not be given options of parole, reduced sentences or good behavior benefits

Convicts with a life sentence should serve five years before termination, and if they are found to have been wrongly convicted then the prosecution that resulted in the death would suffer the same punishment.
