07/12/96: Re: Deterrent Effect of Death Penalty

Posted By: joe


I agree that the murderer has more time, opportunity and chance to fight for his/her life than their victim did. I understand that killing the killer isn't morally right. I understand there are no easy solutions or answers. However how about some responsibility and consequences for one's actions. You commit the crime, accept what our law and rules have pre-determined. Why keep someone who is without doubt guilty in prison forever ? What would that accomplish. There is the fear that they escape,not to mention the cost to the community. When you take a life, why should yours be spared ?
