Sentences should be delivered based on what will end up with the best result. Considering the insane cost of killing someone due to the precautions to make sure it's not a wrongful arrest, it simply accomplishes nothing. This is in addition to the fact that there's already a huge margin of error.
Plus, death penalty gives no chance to release someone on parole. |

I'd just point out bullets are cheaper...
I've got no problem with the death penalty. The laws allow for wave after wave of appeals. This commonly takes up to 20 years... 20 years on death row before the appeals run out. If 20 years can't convince people, sorry... time to pay the piper. |

| after a jury has found the defendant guilty of murder, leave it up to the family and they can pick one person to have a gladiator duel with the murderer. If the murderer wins he gets life if he loses well to bad. |

| well either way the man on trial would not have a choice and couldnt volunteer he has no choice in the matter his fate is sealed by the state. I f the state refuses the death penalty than no one would have to volunteer to fight and no life would be lost. besides life in prison is more painful than death. The sword can kill you once but the pen can kill you twice. |

| In my opinion only those that commit the most henious crimes should be executed. Serial killers for instance. Or the nutty kid that goes on a shooting spree. Both usuaully have overwhelming evidence and should not be on deathrow for no more than a year, let alone twenty. The only three methods of execution is by shooting, gas or good ol sparky. The needle is too good for them. |

| But my point is that there is no compensation by the state for taking the life of a person |

It could be a "lack of Justification" to keep this person alive longer than the appeals process provides, given that a jury of his peers has not only convicted him/her but that a sentence of "death" has been levied. |

My state hasn't executed some-one since 1994, since then our murder rate has plumeted......our legal system is far from perfect, nor do we need to be killing people so I think my state should drop it....not that it matters, we only have 7 guys on death row and none of them are schedualed to get the needle so for all intents and purposes we don't have the death penalty.
however if Texas wants to give em the dose more power to em........ |

20 years and yet STILL people are found innocent.
Tell me, what does killing them solve? |

| I agree, it is too expensive to kill them, unless you want to adopt kangaroo courts. |

| Capital punishment proves nothing. We have not had the Death Penalty for about 50 years. Although the odd crime comes up that some feels justifies such a punishment, by and large we are happy with our choices. |
