I've never understood why it takes 15 years of wasted tax dollars and court time to execute someone who has already been convicted. Flip the switch and be done with it.

If you murder without a dout you should face DEATH. They should not stay on death row for years only weeks after trail. If this was in place and people knew they would die for their crime you would see murder crimes decline. Life in prison is a vacation for some.

I agree with your post.

It is about time. Thank you.

"and our government has killed innocent citizens with it."

and yet, abortion is so strongly supported by those against the death penalty?

*****we have a "moral obligation" to put these people to death.

We also have a *MORAL OBLIGATION* for people to have *FAIR AND JUST TRIALS*....but that ain't taking place either****perhaps we need to IMPROVE the JUDICIAL PROCESS FIRST so that there are NO INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING INDICTED, TRIED AND CONVICTED FOR CRIMES THAT THEY ARE NOT GUILTY OF....and then when we know NO MISTAKES ARE BEING MADE....decide at this time. (DON'T THOUGH HOLD YOUR BREATH)

Perhaps the lawmakers should make sure that INNOCENT PEOPLE do NOT get indicted, tried and convicted FIRST******take a look at all of the MISTAKES which have already been discovered*****and possibly many hundreds more....perhaps prosecutors and law enforcement need to be held *accountable and responsible* for their part in any and all *CORRUPTION AND COVER UP*....before putting *INNOCENT PEOPLE TO DEATH*....just saying.

I’m sure there’s no way of someone convincing you that 2+2=4 either but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s more expensive at present date to carry out the death penalty. That being said I do believe in the death penalty in such cases that provide irrefutable evidence. Many would argue that the death sentence is not a deterrent and in its current form I agree. It’s nothing more than a paper tiger, prisoners effectively live out their days on death row only to die of old age. Big whoop, what a deterrent! If we were to reform the death sentence and make it more of an inevitable reality I’m sure that opinion would quickly change.

WRONG! NC would save 11 million by getting rid of the death penalty. Do a little research before you post your suppositions. To use your phrase- Just because you wish it was so does not mean it is.
