no, i don't think the death penalty should be allowed at all.
@9ZXKYYX5mos5MO
Yes but only with undeniable evidence and should be review by a third unbiased party before the execution happens
@9FMS9452yrs2Y
No it costs too much, and the risk of an innocent person being wrongly convicted is too high
@9ZL2DKR5mos5MO
Yes, but let any inmate that’s eligible for the death penalty choose between life behind bars or execution.
Yes, spending life in prison when there is undeniable evidence puts an economical strain on the justice system.
@8NZWYH64yrs4Y
No and I don’t support life sentence either.
@8FFYP2Y5yrs5Y
Those convicted should be given the choice - it would save tax-payer money if more people were allowed to choose the death penalty, versus Canadians having to pay for them to be in prison for life.
@8VTQN7N4yrs4Y
No, but sentences should be tougher
@8T2MZ334yrs4Y
yes, but only if they pose a danger to society being left alive
@9BMXVQ62yrs2Y
Only for Rapists, Sexual assaulters and people who committed crimes against children.
@95PJ28K3yrs3Y
yes but only with undeniable evidence and victim's family should decide the punishment so in a sense the have revenge
