| Jails are over populated which makes you wonder what is wrong w/our society that so many people are committing crimes. So in many ways the death penalty would help alleviate the problem of over populated jails especially if the person is serving life w/o parole.
But I do think capital punishment is a tough decision to make because there is sometimes that doubt - what if the person is really innocent. Anymore due to DNA, you are hearing of cases where people who are serving have been found innocent. Also for the person that administers the lethal injection into the criminal - are they then considered a murderer? |
