In the early 90's a very close friends 9 year old daughter and 7 yo playmate were brutally murdered by a man who came into their home. Eventually the bad guy was caught and after about 10 years was executed here in Texas. Needless to say I do believe there are crimes that call for a person to be executed.
Reading the current issues about eliminating the death penalty it appears the same states that restrict handguns are leading the fight to eliminate executions. The Supreme Court is also reviewing the lethal injection issues.
You continue to hear juries in states (California i.e.) send criminals to Death Row, yet how long has it been since the state has followed through with its responsibilities and its peoples wishes? Do you believe there are crimes that warrant death?
I realize these are loaded questions for the good folks on this board but I'd like to hear your thoughts.
