What I mean is the people who are related to the person who got killed (the victim) have to suffer emotionally. So in a lot of cases the relatives and friends think that the murderer who killed that person should suffer death as well.Originally Posted by REDNECK

Not always the case. There was a case where the family of the victom all asked the judge not to sentence the murder for execution and they won that case. Originally Posted by Agesilaus

Personally I don't think we should execute people for more two reasons really:
1) If you've got the wrong person and realise in the future when you have more evidence then it means that you'll have taken an innocent persons life for nothing.
2) Two wrongs don't really make a right so we shouldn't punish people by killing them. People who do commit disgusting crimes probably deserve to suffer in prison so they realise the error of their ways than to just be instantly killed.

You should only be able to execute someone like a year after they have been trialed so that there is time to figure out if you have it wrong.

Precisely why I said in a lot of cases not in every case. But you're right nevertheless. It depends on the situation, I just find it more common that they want the other person executed, but we don't execute people, the main is jail and generally for a long time. It really does depend on the situation since you can't generalise it to that extent. Originally Posted by ---MAD---
A very true point. I think it should only be done if they are more than certain they committed that crime. It is a decision that needs to be looked at with extreme caution. Originally Posted by opensourcehost

Saying that in some cases new evidence proving people are innocent is found 10 - 20 years after the event when new technology develops, a year by no means is long enough to completely be assured a certain person committed an offence and in many cases you can never be completely sure, you can only go on the evidence you have. Therefore if you were to avoid executing people it is always possible to a certain extent to reverse the punishment or more so than if the person is dead. Originally Posted by Barkseh

Many executions take years before they are put into place. Some take 10-20 years some even longer. Originally Posted by Barkseh

No, they should be put to use. Used to test drugs/medicines on instead of animals, used as community workers etc. etc.
