I think maybe more care should be used in making sure we have the right guy, but once it is determined we do indeed have the right guy, fry his murdering, child raping ass and be done with it
I agree. IF there's a solid confession that has been verified and/or if DNA results and all other physical and circumstantial evidence indicate guilt, I've come to the opinion that the death penalty is warranted. If there's less than that and the convict is claiming innocence, then I'm okay with life in prison.
The cost of housing these prisoners into their golden years and with the prison population living longer just like the rest of society, the cost is exorbitant. They get full health care and it ain't cheap.
