There are many problems with the death penalty. If this country had never abolished the death penalty many innocent people would have been put to death (FACT).
I hear people say "we have forensic evidense these day". Well you need to go to Google and type Stephan Kishko or the Birmingham Six before you use that argument.
I think the death penalty is the easy way out, look at Harold Shipman and Fred West. Ian Brady says he wants to die, I say tough!

Totally agree with you
Watching a programme about Muslim women the other night and within the last couple of years several women have been publicly stoned to death for adultery, not exactly what I think could be described as punishment fitting the crime.
What purpose could be served by a public flogging
it's barbaric and inhumane and I can't imagine that it would bring any comfort to the victims families
