Anyhoo, I would not broadbrush every person who commits a homicide as a murderer worthy of the death penalty. This is why we have varying degrees of homicide ranging from Criminal Negligence (NYS E-Felony) to Murder-1 (A-1 Felony). I do support the death penalty on a case by case basis. This man should have never been released
I'd have to agree. Definitely capital punishment for cold-blooded killers and first-degree murderers. Some "murders" are committed in self-defense but it's a case by case situation, not cut and dry.
Rehabilitation seldom works. Even if some ruthless felons can be rehabilitated, I still don't want them in prison sucking on our tax dollars with more privileges than they should have. Treat criminals the same as they treated their victims. Let the punishment fit the crime.
