Re: Thoughts on the death penalty?
I never understood how indirectly putting someone to death through the justice system equates to the loss one would have if their loved one or family member got murdered. Of course I cannot speak on behalf of any victim's family or friends because I don't directly know any immediate family or close friends who have been murdered.
2 points....
1) The family has to endure the long and intense emotional stress of court and trial in order to sentence someone to death row (usually).
2) Killing another person doesn't bring back your lost loved ones.
