I'm not against the death penalty for very simple reason.

1: It cost to keep the prisoner alive.
2: You only get like 100 years and they decide to kill people. So we should kill them and get over it already.

I know there have been innocent people but if those bad people come out they will kill once more and almost all of them do it again. Some even do it on the same day where released.

Before someone comes with "What if it was a family members of yours?" Well if it was and he had like killed someone coldblooded I wouldn't want to have him as a family member.

You got your chance to live and you decided to get way to evil. Time to end it imo.

totally agree..

I'm very much on the fence when it comes to the death penalty.

On the one hand some innocent people are killed by the government after being wrongly convicted.

On the other some people are never getting out of jail and choose to just go on rampages inside of prisons since really they have nothing to live for anyway and just end up costing the state a lot of money.

I'm going to have to say that considering these two issues that the death penalty should be a option only in the most serious cases. Maybe if a jury and judge both suggest the death penalty it could go to a seperate group who would decide whether it should be followed through with. If the group decides it then follow through with the execution.

Instead of looking at it from the criminal's point of view, what about the victim or the victim's family point of view?

Because liberals do not care about victims, to them, the victim is the criminal who was left with little choice in this country but to turn to crime after "the man" kept him down.

Gotta love teen pregnancies! Oh well, it's probably a good thing that baby is gone. With parents like those, she'd grow up to be just another fucked up person in society and continue her family's wonderful teen pregnancy + trash can legacy.

Like the conservatives that think the death of any criminal for any crime is justified and good news.

death penalty IS WAY MORE expensive then some boring life sentence....

Average rate for keeping a person in Prison for America is around $40,000 a year.

Killing someone throught the death penalty, burning their body and all the other essentials(transportation, men etc) is way less.

Sorry, but you are wrong.  Calculating the cost of executing some one has already been done, and it is more expensive to execute them.

Thanks, I never was certain about it and didn't take other factors into consideration.

Yeah, most people don't consider the cost of appeals on the process.  They will usually spend 10 years or so in prison, so that has to be paid for, while the court costs wrack up on the appeals.  It gets very expensive.

Kill him not for punishment but because it's the only way to know he can't kill again.

A new study released by the Urban Institute on March 6, 2008 found that Maryland taxpayers have paid at least $37.2 million for each of the state’s five executions since 1978 when the state reenacted the death penalty. The study, prepared by the Urban Institute, estimates that the average cost to Maryland taxpayers for reaching a single death sentence is $3 million - $1.9 million more than the cost of a non-death penalty case. The study examined 162 capital cases that were prosecuted between 1978 and 1999 and found that seeking the death penalty in those cases cost $186 million more than what those cases would have cost had the death penalty not been sought.

what's with the 2nd quote dude?

Oh btw about that the killing off someone cost like $37 MILLION for ONE guy just to kill him?

SERIOUSLY? How bad at handling money can you be if it cost you $37 MILLIONS to finnish of ONE measly guy?

Sersiouly, take a gun and put one bullet to the head and then drive him to the place. Like $50 top or something if the place is far away.
It sounds like the transport the fella around the world a couple of times and use THE MOST expensive things there is.

I really don't get how it can cost that much. It's mindboggling expensive. But to keep them alive is cheaper? No I just don't buy that crap.

just for the record... I didn't type that 2nd quote
