LarryP I do not think you are correcting in stating execution does not deter others. I think it does reduce crime. If only we actually carried it out, rather than let them sit for years in jail, it would likely have a greater effect in detering crime.
Of course If there is any doubt in guilt, life in prison is better. But hell, we can't even execute killers caught redhanded in a timely fashion these days. I recall vividly a radio interview many years ago. A store was robbed, and the two crooks were ready to leave, and one said to the other "lets kill the two witnesses", the other said "no way, I am no going to the chair (electric chair) over this" and they ended up fleeing without killing the robbed store owners. Assuming that is all true, it appears that the potential death penalty prevented a double murder. Petersons case, well We didn't hear all the evidence, but from what i did hear, there was no direct evidence, but tons of circumstantail evidence. In a case like that, with any doubt, life would be a better punishment, just in case a mistake is made. But if you got them redhanded, I fail to see any reason not to execute a killer, ecspecially a double or child murder case. If someone breaks into my house, and captures me, I would prefer the threat of death over that robber if he kills me, than a threat of prison. Figure my odds of living are a bit better under that way, that is one reason the folks out here voted to re-instate the death penalty, and dump the liberal supreme court (california) Judge Birde that over turned every death penalty she came across. Also, fire the prison guards, and their cushy pension plans, and get some real prisons, tents in the Mojave desert, sorrounded by rings of barbed wire with land mines in between. Have one water pipe go into the tent prison, any problems, shut off the water. Few gaurds needed, low cost, and they arent getting anything worse than our soilders. We spend too god damn much housing these crooks. |
