I was just watching one of those court shows and they were talking about the death penalty. I live in Canada where that is not done, but I just wanted to know what you people think about it.

This was a thread where I asked people about it, I was trying to find both sides for a paper I was writing.

I personally don't believe in it, I had a letter written when I was a police officer that if I was killed in the line of duty for them not to ask for the death penalty.

It is effective, since those that are killed do not repeat their crimes.

My issues
Since not done in all states, not treated equal

Not equally applied even in states

Too many appeals, it takes 20 or more years to actually happen
And cost in legal is high
