The death penalty is a shame for the country! The death penalty turns the state into a murderer! The death penalty must be abolished. She must become a thing of the past.
Robert Alton Harris was executed at San Quentin State Prison's East Wing, the Condemned Unit, while the original Condemned Row is located at the North Wing, 4th floor. He famously went out with the words, "You may be a king, or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the Grim Reaper", in the gas chamber in April of 1992. I really believe that the Great State of California should have retained capital punishment, and that's what Scott Peterson should have got, a "night-night injection", as in lethal injection or the gas chamber. Peterson is a cold-blooded murderer! Now he's at Mule Creek State Prison for the remainder of his natural life, and he has time to reflect on what he did to Laci and Conor, his wife and unborn son. This, despite being Canadian.
I might have an idea on how to fix this broken system. 1) speed up the appellate process as they suggested 2) have independent investigations done to ensure a convicts guilt 3) when it comes down to the actual execution, leave the execution of the sentence to a member of the victim's relatives. Let a relative do the actual killing of the convict. I believe that will keep the cost of death penalty cases down, it would ensure that those falsely convicted would be set free and since most people would not be capable of killing themselves, most inmates would have their sentences commuted to life without parole and there would only be a very limited number of inmates be actually put to death. Thus making both sides of the argument happy.
Once they say life without the possibility of parole then they say they can get early discharge because they are no longer a threat. The best thing is to execute a murderer. It is a morally separate crime from all others. If the process stretches the process out over 20 years then it's time that can be spent knowing it could be just around the corner.
The penalty is not for victims’ families, but for societies. Idiots. It’s so outrageously cruel you ban the punishment when you allow criminals to enjoy escaping from any consequences.
@@richardblankenship5481 lol America ain't no better you have the death penalty yet your crimes rates and mass shotting are at a all time high , don't judge another country when the country you live in is in a much worse state than uk
Innocent people dying is solved by judicial reform not abolishment. Prosecuters and everyone involved in the case of getting the subject indicted needs to be held to account when they lie or twist facts and evidence.
My mother was murdered in 1974, I was always for the death penalty. As I have gotten older I realized that a few of these people are actually innocent. This is horrible. I don't know where I stand anymore. It's conflicting, but I can see both sides of this debate. I just don't know.
The death penalty is an invaluable tool that the U.S. does not use enough of and one that takes too long to execute, violent crime is on the rise and the death penalty is lowly used, violent criminals sit on death row for decades eating, breathing, and living while the victims have to go on for decades suffering, we asked for capital punishment so let's punish capital offenses!
California is a socialist State. How about requiring people who pass the California bar to do public service defending death penalty cases for five years? Let those college activists put their money where their protest signs are.
If a person is guilty of a crime that requires the death penalty, and is later PROVEN innocent how well is our JUSTICE SYSTEM right?, Cases have been over turned years later on our appeal's system, new evidence , DNA, testimony, the innocent project has over turned cases , how is our JUSTICE SYSTEM right if it has FLAW'S, a person is innocent until proven guilty, yet your guilty until proven innocent, our system is flawed, who has remorse when you send an innocent person to death, or find an innocent person guilty of a crime he or she is innocent for, you can't take back a death penalty, or bring that person back, why our appeal system is so lengthy, JUSTICE is a process and must be right.
That is ridicullus, as a german, i don't Support the Death Penalty either. But if a convicted murder is sentenced to Death, it should Be happen immediately. Even 5 Years is to long though. Within 2 weeks. But 20 years on Death Row sounds like Torture to me
45000 dollars times every inmate in the country equals more than 5 billion a Year. Abolishing the death penalty would add to that number. How is life without parole cheaper?
@netsirenful America has the death penalty yet crime rates and murder rates soar to new levels lmao , UK has no where near the amount of killings that America does , don't judge a country cause they don't have the death penalty. Taking a life don't make u a better person makes u exactly the same
Unserstandable. Unfortunately innocent people have been put to death. But i still feel all baby killere should be given the death penalty. Its more about justice being served than being a crime deterrent
That's giving them the easy route , making them suffer in prison is more torture . Taking a life males u as bad as the person who took another person's life there's no diffrence
Master Shot1911 a No, you haven't worked it out. The prisoner is dead. No more feeling hope sadness remorse, hate love. NOTHING. Killing the prisoner is ending the punishment. However it is a punishment for their family. It is warped thinking.
Master Shot1911 WHO IS IT YOU THINK SHOULD BE PUNISHED? THE PERSON WHO KILLED IS DEAD...NO PUNISHED THERE. BUT IT DOES PUNISH FAMILY ETC. IT DOES ENCOURAGE ANGER AND CAUSES PAIN TO THE VICTIMS RELATIVES.
Capitol punishment is probably not much of a deterrent to crime but it is a deterrent. It deters criminals drom going to trial because MANY f them will plead out to avoid death sentence. If that is automatically off the table then their is little reason for them to plead out.
OBHSfolk but people will plead to life for a crime they didn't comment because they are scared to and if death. Watch some real trials where very little surcumsran evidence gets someone convicted by the heart strings of a jury. You would this couldn't happen. How could it.... We live in America. But it does. And it happens more than you would believe. You won't believe it. Most don't want to and refuse to believe it but it happens everyday. Not every case involves murder. But many people go to jail and person who are innocent
HEY PEOPLE PUT YOURSELF IN THE PRISONERS SHOES AND MAKE THIS CHOICE WHICH IS HARDER TO LIVE WITH THE GUILT OF THE CRIME YOU'VE COMMITTED EVERYDAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OR TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT? IT'S WAY HARDER FOR THE PRISONER TO LIVE WITH THAT CRIME EVERYDAY FOR THE REST OF THERE LIFE WHILE SERVING LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE .
A good point for sure. And unfortunately some innocent people have been put to death. But i feel like any baby killer should be put to death. The death penalty is more about justice being served than a deterrent
So, which proposition did the people of California vote for, does anybody know?
Surprisingly good arguments from both sides. Personally I would agree more on the abolishment.
The death penalty is a shame for the country! The death penalty turns the state into a murderer! The death penalty must be abolished. She must become a thing of the past.
For guys like Scott Peterson, make him be on the main line (GP) and in California, business will be handled.
There has been a few cases to my knowledge where people have been put on death row then released after 10-20 years for not being guilty of the crime
I think speeding up the process is a great idea
I AGREE THAT IT SHOULD STAY
Yeah great idea that way more innocent people will die
What about the innocent?
Prison is not for recreation or leisure fun, it is for PUNISHMENT! STOP Coddling the prisoners!
“Would do anything not to go back to jail” gets death penalty 😹
“To make sure everyone is sure”
Ummm....you mean you weren’t sure when you handed it down??
If you don’t know don’t do it..

David Anderson You're not right in the head.
David Anderson In fact you are DEEPLY DISTURBED.
Remember that speeding up the process will cost more tax payer dollars to achieve the same result as life without parole, the person dying in prison.

LET THE DEATH THING STAY
In England our death penalty got abolished in the 1960s.
Doctor Anarchy And just look at where your crime rates have gone since then.

There were only a couple of murders a year in England in the `60`s...

Capital punishment in California, but it’s nearly close to impossible to get a gun there??
Did it pass?
Yes. Voters approved Prop 66. Sadly, the state is still resisting, ignoring the will of the people.
And 4 years later the court realized that the death penalty was wrong to give Scott Peterson. 🤦♂️
They should release him!
I think abolishing the death penalty is a better idea
I think the death penalty should be for all people who harm children specifically. Its not about what's cheapest etc, it's about justice
Just my opinion. I respect yours too. Unfortunately there have been innocent people put to death
Life in solitary confinement with no parole!

I couldn't be the one to pull the switch but if someone kills a baby you gotta go.
That's my opinion too. Anyone who harms a baby should be put to death.
Its not about keeping the community safe its about finances and many other things and i believe getting them to the ultimate reward...god
5:59 lolololllol right, because we are whores
send him to mexico
life in prison waste of money?
Innocent people have been put to death that's why I don't agree with the death penalty

It hasn't been a deterrent....not even close
Capital punishment is very important to maintain.
Rest in peace to Lacey Peterson and her unborn son Connor. Scott Peterson deserves the electric chair
Better off dead than rotting away in prison.
That's giving them the easy route , making them suffer in prison is more torture .
Taking a life males u as bad as the person who took another person's life there's no diffrence
The death verdict, doesn’t and will never bring any since of relief. End the death Penalty and give them life without parole.
DNA is left everywhere by everyone. So there is room for error.
AGAIN! CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS NOT A DETERRENT. I DONT CARE ABOUT THAT! IT IS A PUNISHMENT!
Master Shot1911 Evil halfwit.
Master Shot1911 well who do you think gets punished. The prisoner or his family?

The death penalty guarantees that a murder won’t ever murder again. If that isn’t a deterrent nothing is.
Master Shot1911 WHO IS IT YOU THINK SHOULD BE PUNISHED? THE PERSON WHO KILLED IS DEAD...NO PUNISHED THERE. BUT IT DOES PUNISH FAMILY ETC. IT DOES ENCOURAGE ANGER AND CAUSES PAIN TO THE VICTIMS RELATIVES.
Now he is sentenced to LWOP
Chain them to the backs of garbage trucks and make them do it everyday. For food
That’s barbaric we can’t impose cruel and unusual punishment
The state should not have the power to kill its citizens.
It is wot it is
life in jail is hard time .. Death is easy ..

Jake Minner You speak the TRUTH
Need more room
It doesn't reduce crime or act as a deterrent. It's an eye for an eye and if they truly are guilty F em. They get what's coming.
