Yes you should lol. WTF else would you do with them? We need way more capital punishment for people who commit unforgivable crimes and no more of this “moral” injection shite either. A hanging is just as humane. My only reservations would be convicting an innocent but to be honest forensic technology is so advanced these days that you can’t really screw someone over through eyewitness testimony anymore.

The hell you can't...if the state is footing the bill for their defense and their prosecution and the revenue is based on their conviction rate it is entirely possible to convict an innocent person based on snitches and eye witness testimony even when the state possesses forensic evidence PROVING the accused is not guilty. Once convicted that person is then charged with overcoming the prejudice Judges who are also part of the prosecuting economy and juries who automatically assume the system works most of the time and the accused must be guilty.

The fact that many people have been exonerated of the capital crimes they were convicted of is all that is needed to know the system is seriously flawed and should be stopped immediately.

And at what point do we start killing the mentally ill??? When they first suffer from the trauma that drives many of them insane? In this case the woman would have been executed at the age of 4.....a society is judged by the way it treats the least capable among us to defend themselves.
