Death Penalty?

Should mental instability disqualify convicted murders from the death penalty? Please list your reason/s for yes or no?

Answer #1

Well…nobody who commits serial, or drastically heinous crimes would be called completely “all there”…However the legal defination of “unstable” or “insane” is NOT at all in the same light as we, the general public, view it…

So unless they got off with an insanity plea, I say yes.

Answer #2

I think the process of ‘the death penalty’ should be made cheaper, but the trial, and conviction should be made more accurate.

…but what are the chances of that?

Answer #3

Regardless of whether it’s a law official, child, or otherwise, I believe that the death penalty should only be applied to FIRST DEGREE MURDER.

If someone, because of mentality or age is not mentally competent enough to commit first degree murder then they should not be executed.

Answer #4

I think anyone who murders someone would be considered ‘mentally instable’.

Answer #5

I do NOT believe in the death penalty. jimahl is right on the mark with his reply.

Answer #6

No one should ever be executed. Period…

It is barbaric, and an enlightened society should know better.
