Multiple Department of Justice employees "may have violated" Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial through public comments and social media posts, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday -- and it could end up swaying the judge to grant a defense motion to take the death penalty off the table.
Even people who are okay with the death penalty in a moral sense should be against it for logical reasons. Once you factor in the cost of the appeals system, the cost of the drugs themselves, the cost of paying out people or families when the drugs dont work as theyre supposed to, and the cost of keeping people in prison on death row, it is infinitely more expensive than just putting someone in prison for life.
As a society, not to mention as taxpayers, we pay a huge premium to let the state exact barbaric revenge on people
I oppose the death penalty. No one has the right to take a single life, let alone the 40,000 people that Brian Robert Thompson murdered in cold blood.
I’m okay with the death penalty in cases like treason or insurrection.
When it’s clear that they committed the crimes.
In broad daylight.
For everyone to see.
On live television.
With absolutely no doubt that they are guilty.
You want this administration being the arbiter of what is treason?
Some governments deserve to be treasoned or insurrected.
Almost all
good news, donald trump just banned anti fascism. one step closer to your glorious dream.
i want to say i’m a civilized, evolved person. then some people i wish would get the ol’ Robert-François Damiens. people have inconsistencies, like good corn muffin batter. fuck i should bake some muffins.
I used to be ok with it in certain circumstances, until I found out how many innocent people get convicted and how many people put to death were exonerated later. I’m against the entire prison system now though. It’s modern slavery and the state shouldn’t be trusted with that kind of power.
I can support the idea of a death penalty when someone kills multiple people and there’s good evidence.
However I can never support the implementation of the death penalty as I believe the state should never have the right tl execute its own citizens. And I believe it cannot be trusted with that authority
