Except your ability to understand right from wrong is established much earlier, unless you have lived under circumstances of abuse. The ability to weigh risk from reward is a non factor when a person is unable to be reconditioned to understand right from wrong, and there are quite a few experts who believe in the right environment, reconditioning is impossible. Dr. James Farrow, associate professor of medicine and pediatrics at University of Washington School of Medicine, director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine at the UW Medical Center, and director of Nathan Hale High School's Teen Health Center; Dr. Jim Owens, medical director for the Department of Juvenile Rehabilitation; and Dr. William Womack, child psychiatrist at Children's Hospital and consultant at Echo Glen Children's center. To name a few.
Is killing someone more cruel than keeping them confined, though? Granted, confining them for a period, or setting an execution date year's out is a little.
True, and I think that is a big fault of the courts, over-zealous prosecutors, deceitful police and a system that is stacked against you if a good enough lawyer is simply not in your budget. There are even times when DNA evidence has proven people innocent, but because they still had a fair trial for the time period, their cases remain untouched. That being said, not every person is innocent, and I think the ones who are deemed unable to be helped should be granted the release from being treated like a dog.
All. Of. Them. Muhahaha!
Fair point. I still think endless imprisonment is a lot scarier than death. To each their own.
What makes you so tough?
What does that have to do with capital punishment?
Because if "people die, get over it" was really your philosophy, then who cares if he killed those people, because "people die, get over it"
