[...] September 25th, 2009 Headsman Two years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court unexpectedly accepted a case, Baze v. Rees, challenging the constitutionality of lethal injection — the supposedly humane execution method that seemed less and less so. [...]

Do you wish to just skip the justice system all together? Convicts have the right to appeal the decision. I am Proexecution and think that they should expand the reasons that convicted crimminals are executed to include pedophiles. I think that it is simply disgusting that you serve more jail time for robbery than you do for completely destroying a child. They have scars for the rest of their life to the crap that was inflicted upon them. I think that the punishment system in the United States needs to be reevaluated. I thiink that Americans need to remember what is importand and their value system. I know that everything revolves around monetary matters but sooner or later Americans are going to have to make a choice between money and doing the right thing.

Proexecution: I simply feel we can do Hammurabi one better. Why should I, a taxpayer, be forced to help pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a guilty person to drag out his appeals? On the other hand, the average annual cost of keeping the prisoner alive & hosed, not in luxury, but in jail, is less than half. If the death penalty were carried out in less than 5 years after conviction, then yes, death is cheaper. However, allowing the person to grow old & die in jail costs significantly less than the average death penalty appeals process. There are some individuals who have no remorse and no impulse control and so can never be allowed to rejoin society (think Charles Manson) - but I fail to see why I should have to pay more than I must to keep myself safe.

“”Stepped away from Roman style justice” you say, I would like to hear what you have to say when one of your children or other family member is killed. I would like to hear that you don’t care how much taxes is going away from your paycheck to hold that criminal in the prison. To me is like ” you killed him/her, oh well you are only a human, here are some money for your food, and bed and whatever you do in prison, for the rest of your life, thank you, and sorry I can’t do more”

Crucifixion? Burning? Apart from China’s vivisecting executions for organ money and Russia’s mafia-style justice, the US is the only superpower that has the death penalty on the books. It is applied unfairly and unequally. Race matters, as does gender. Fewer whites and women are convicted of capital offenses and fewer still die. It has been proven to be economically better (read: cheaper) to allow the criminals to spend their lives in prison. In this recession, it’s why many states are turning away from the death penalty. I hope we have stepped, if only slightly, away from Roman style justice or our forefather’s witch-burning ways.
