Bernie Madoff was a lifer. His family was far from destitute.For every well cared for lifer there is a destitute family.
"There are lies, damned lies, and...statistics."Intelligence is like stats. If you pick and choose sources, methods and sampling, you can prove anything.
"Eye for eye" is grossly misunderstood. It simply means let the punishment fit the crime.It comes down to morality and an abandonment of eye for an eye justice
Most of the world looks at us and wonders
We used to brag about American Exceptionalism
Easily solved problem using the biblical principle that deals with false witnessing.Do you believe the US court system is infallible, or are you OK with executing innocent people? It is one or the other, which is it?
Madoff ruined lots of families financially.Bernie Madoff was a lifer. His family was far from destitute.
Life in prison is also 'taking a life'.
I agree. I think the death penalty should be viewed more like removing a tumor from the body of society. It also should be done by firing squad and not the ridiculous side shows with injections or electric chairs.No evidence? When the death penalty has been used, I have never seen that felon come back and kill another singe person. It is not to teach a lesson in society. It is because some commit crimes so horrible, their life is forfeit by their deeds and deserve to be removed from the herd, permanently.

The 'worst' thing the state can do to an offender is to make him or her pay restitution for their crime. Sadly, we don't do this. The criminal gets away with it while everyone else gets to pay.In a way but I support penalties for harming others.
I think the perp should be given that choice as long as they don't try to make a spectacle of it.

SO...going to answer the question?Easily solved problem using the biblical principle that deals with false witnessing.
Deuteronomy 19..
16 If a false witness (or prosecutor) rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
What question?SO...going to answer the question?

Most Civilized Societies have moved past revengeThe death penalty is the ultimate punishment and is deserved for certain crimes.
For some criminals 3 hots and a cot isn't good enough.
Most Civilized Societies have moved past revenge
No, they have moved on to coddling.
It's gonna bite them in the ass sooner or later.
