Default Re: The Death Penalty

As much as law is the rubrics of judgment, it is also the rubrics of assumption. Despite conviction of misdeeds, there is still a chance, regardless of how small, the person is innocent or does not in any way deserve such a punishment. When convicting, we are making an assumption no matter how much evidence we may have, for we, as 3rd party members, will never know everything about a situation we weren't involved in. It is just that we, the 3rd party, holds the rights to judge with the evidence present.

In short, we will never know the full story, nor can we have a 100% guaranteed rightful judgment. Thus, it would be far fetched to have an immediate death penalty over your head. What I would support is the right to request death penalty when sentenced with a lifetime sentence, if I'm not mistaken, that is already in effect somewhere.
