I believe the victim’s family should decide. However, I also believe that the person found guilty needs to thoroughly be proven guilty.

 @9GZYG4Jfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, for Homicide, mass murderer, serial killer, terrorist, rape, crime against children, crime against humanity and act of treason against the peoples of Canada.

Yes, but the victim's family should decide, and only if it is a horrific crime with undeniable evidence

 @9KDYHHZfrom Saskatchewan  answered…12mos12MO

I think it would only be fair if the victims family got to choose but they should be 100% proven guilty. Too many innocent lives were taken due to false sentences

I think the victim’s family should have a say on the punishment but I think the death penalty should be replaced with a testing penalty and all serious criminals should be used for product testing instead of animals

Death penalty is immoral. It's not okay to kill anyone even if they are a bad person. Death penalty is something that should be outlawed. Lots of innocent people end up killed in countries with death penalty.
