The government should make a desicion on if the death penalty is valid and then give the option to the family.

 @9J59F6DLeftanswered…3mos3MO

No, and abolish the punitive justice system entirely and replace it with a fully rehabilitative one.

 @99CN88ZSocial Democraticfrom Nevada answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence. Too many people are innocently convicted.

 @9FZPB4Jfrom Pennsylvania answered…6mos6MO

I am well aware about the death penalty, but in certain cases I feel the riches come out fine but the poor are the ones that get killed. That is why if they have full proven and right evidence about the crime that was committed then I support it , but if they don’t then I don’t support it.

no, some people deserve death for their crimes but I don't think anyone or the goverment should have to right to put them to death

I support death penalty based on what you have done and If it is 100% proven. If you killed someone, you should also get the same exact death you killed them with, unless it was an accident.

 @95WV7S2Free Votersanswered…2yrs2Y

Only if a horrific crime happens again even after returning to society.

 @93FFQ8Vanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but the prisoner should be able to choose if they would rather spend life in prison or receive a medically assisted suicide.

 @8W2JM7Vanswered…3yrs3Y

only if the person is a real life threat to society and everyone around him

 @8VF5FYJanswered…3yrs3Y

Only certain horrific crimes where the person is guilty with no remorse or care for punishment

The offender should have the choice of serving time or accepting the death penalty.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How do the cultural or legal precedents in your community shape your views on the death penalty, if at all?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

In your opinion, does the death penalty serve a moral or practical purpose in modern society?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If you were in a position to decide, would you seek to implement the death penalty as a part of your justice system, and what would guide your decision?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How do you reconcile the finality of the death penalty with the possibility of rehabilitation or change in a person?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Are there circumstances where you believe the death penalty could be a deterrent to prevent serious crimes, or do you think it has no effect on crime rates?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How might the existence or absence of the death penalty impact the way society views the value of human life?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Can you imagine a crime so heinous that you believe a death penalty would be the rightful punishment, or do you think a different form of justice would be more appropriate?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Should the potential for wrongful convictions affect our stance on the death penalty, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

What are your thoughts on taking a life as retribution for a crime, and can it ever be justified in your eyes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would you feel if someone close to you was given a death sentence for a crime they may or may not have committed?

 @93ZVQ53 from New York answered…2yrs2Y

No, automatic appeals make it significantly more expensive than a life sentence.

 @6T6Y4L2 from Rhode Island answered…2yrs2Y

 @92YHQCV from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, because too many people are innocently convicted. Plus, I think that spending life in prison is a harsher sentence because the dead don't suffer unless their soul was sent to hell that is.

 @934R57Ganswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anything against animals.

 @9334YP3answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, for those sentenced to life in prison as well as for those sentenced to death, but in both cases, only when further appeal is impossible or not desired.

 @92WTP23 from Pennsylvania answered…2yrs2Y

No, it would be less expensive to implement life in prison without parole

 @8ZYQ3HP from California answered…2yrs2Y

 @LiamHal78638640 from Illinois answered…2yrs2Y

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, bring back public executions for those who have raped, done anything gruesome to an animal, or those who have murdered anyone for no reason.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anyone who has harmed the weak.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Execute rapists, any unprovoked murders, anything gruesome against animals, and anything against the weak.

 @92458D2 from Illinois answered…2yrs2Y

The punishment should fit with the crime in which the criminal committed

 @ThomasJ249 from Georgia answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for rapists, anything forced sexually, anything against animals, and anything terrorist in nature.

 @8ZVZ2J5 from Georgia answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but I think that the death penalty should be an opt-in program for any incarcerated individual who's serving an extended sentence.

 @8ZTJN9H from North Carolina answered…2yrs2Y

 @ThomasJ476 from Georgia answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for rapists, unprovoked murders and anything against animals.
